It's all gone. They've taken down all the CDC datasets from data.cdc.gov/

"Do not fear those who tell the truth. Fear those who try to hide it. They are willing to sacrifice other things."

EDIT at 18.43 CET - the website seems to be BACK UP - looks like for about an hour, from my notifications.
It was done when I posted the original. I wouldn't have posted if it was not.

What may be removed to become 'in compliance', I do not know.

@firefoxx66 It's not gone. Us data hoarders have been really really busy and lots of us have downloaded everything. The entirely of the US gubment, Wikipedia, and more, all on our spinning rust

@Lydie @firefoxx66 I hope that this isn’t the only place where those contents and datasets are stored. I mean: Github is a wholly owned subsidiary of Microsoft. I don’t think that there are many working copies of the full repository, and I don’t think Microsoft will put up much of a fight if it is put under pressure to kill this project. Using breach of copyright as a pretext, for instance.
