🤬 After decades of serving as a #reliable, #authoritative public #repository of #basic information about #countries, their #economies, and their people, #The #World #Factbook disappeared from the #internet on February 4 with no advance notice.
In the late 90s, the CIA World #Factbook was indispensable. There weren't many comprehensive reference works freely available, and it came with rock-solid provenance.
Now the source is untrustworthy, with the US going post-truth, meh, no big loss.
