Disney Erased FiveThirtyEight From the Internet - r/journalism

Disney quietly deleted the entire FiveThirtyEight archive — over a decade of election models and sports analytics, gone without an announcement — and r/journalism found out before most news outlets did. The thread hit 47,000 upvotes and prompted the Internet Archive to confirm it had preserved the content elsewhere. Top comments called it historical vandalism, which is roughly right: losing that dataset means losing a public record of how forecasting actually performed over ten years, not just an old website. The story spread to a dozen other subreddits within a day.
