SF joins doctors group lawsuit demanding restoration of critical online health data

The city and county of San Francisco has joined a federal lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s censorship of tens of thousands of webpages and datasets related to public health. 

The administration removed 80,000 webpages and numerous datasets in January that were hosted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Federal Drug Administration, National Institutes of Health and other health agencies. The information was related to public health initiatives including HIV, fertility, youth health, and how to develop clinical trials, among other information.
