Disney Erased FiveThirtyEight From the Internet - r/journalism

A viral post exposed that Disney had quietly removed the entire FiveThirtyEight archive from the internet after shutting down the data journalism outlet, deleting over a decade of election models, sports analytics, and statistical journalism. The r/journalism post hit 47,000 upvotes and prompted immediate response from the Internet Archive, which confirmed it had crawled and preserved the content. Reddit reaction was unusually unified in outrage with top comments calling it historical vandalism and a cautionary tale about building on corporate platforms.
