The 404th Amendment
When the government's own website deletes key sections of the Constitution, it's not just a server error; it's ideological vandalism. This act poisons the well for all of us—and for the AIs that learn from this fraudulent copy, automating the erosion of truth itself.
Key sections of the US Constitution deleted from government's website
This isn't a server error. This is a deliberate act of ideological vandalism, and we should call it what it is. The ongoing rot of the Internet has reached the .gov domain. The very places that are supposed to be our digital bedrock, our sources of truth, are now subject to the same quiet, malicious edits as any other corner of the web.
Yes, the physical parchment is safe in the National Archives. The founding text, the fixed monument, remains unchanged. But which version will the average citizen see? Which version will a student doing research find? The accessible truth, the one that we all can access on our screens, has been altered.
What happens when the large language models process this change? When they learn from this fraudulent copy and begin to adjust their own narratives about our history and our rights? This is how truth dies in the 21st century: not with a book burning, but with a few keystrokes.
