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.

    I tried checking google trends to see if the article generated more searches for lemmy, but there’s still no category for the software lemmy, so we can’t distinguish from the searches for the musician.

    Great day for Lemmy! And it’s not even related to baked beans. Lemmy has so much more to offer the world :)

      Yes absolutely. We have: not pooping, jeans, and Taylor Swift’s jet, among other things. Perhaps it’s time for a new one to make the rounds…?

            I haven’t seen any thirst She-Ra shit posts. I have seen the owls from c/superbowl, Sandy the Horse, and the daily video game screen shots.

            We also can’t forget the otters and opossums!

    First we bombed an abortion clinic, now we’re bombing the White House.

    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…

    This reminds me of a phrase/meme a Finnish friend told me about. Because Finland is such a small country, it’s not often that it’s relevant on an international context. This leads to the following phrase being said when Finland is spoken of:

    “Suomi mainittu; torilla tavataan!” which translates to “Finland mentioned; let’s go meet at the town square (in an excited, celebratory manner)”

    Along those lines, my response to this post was “Lemmy mainittu; torilla tavataan!”

    Edit: removed “Welcome to Gboard clipboard, any text that you copy will be saved here.” that I had accidentally pasted
