Constitution Sections on Due Process and Foreign Gifts Just Vanished from Congress' Website
www.404media.co
Part of Article I Section 8, and all of Sections 9 and 10, which address things like habeas corpus, nobility, and militias, are gone from Congress's website for the Constitution.

FTA:

The last full version of the webpage, archived by the Internet Archive on July 17, still included the now-deleted sections. Parts of Section 8 of Article I, as well as all of Sections 9 and 10 of Article I are now gone from the live site. The deletions, as of August 6, are also archived here. The change was spotted by users on Lemmy, an open-source aggregation platform and forum.

    It’s remarkable that Lemmy (specifically /u/silence7@slrpnk.net ) spotted, mass upvoted and reported it before gaining any kind of critical mass on Reddit.

    Reddit’s new UI feels like it’s designed to discourage surfacing that kind of discovery and content…

      I’ve found that Lemmy is incredibly quick with anything news-related. I mostly use the All-feed and if there’s any breaking news going on, it’ll be on the first page. Sometimes I head over to reddit to compare and the articles posted there will only start to gain traction 1-2 hours later.

        Reddit changed their algorithm. I remember when it came to a boil almost a decade ago. They said they experimented with some changes to the algorithm but they changed it back. Somehow the front page slowed down to a crawl. I don’t know that it ever changed back.

        Maybe this article is right and the algorithm is failing under the weight of upvotes, or maybe they tweaked it to better steer conversation, or maybe it’s just broke. Either way, I quit watching the front page long before I left Reddit for good.

          I remember that day, and no it never got better

          I wonder what in the hell the suits see as ‘the benefit’ of never fixing it

          The tech was becoming too good at empowering people. Too many regimes were falling too fast. Thankfully we’re in control this time

      We’ve effectively replaced reddit now. All that’s left is for scale to give us all the niche community goodness we all want and reddit will just be a faint nostalgic memory
