5 days (or so) ago, I remember seeing 438k, now it is 391K. What happened to the ~47K?

Is this a bug?

Does any nonprofit maintain an archive of everything?
Yes.
No, it's the government removing any facts they disagree with. There's an ongoing effort by staff to try and save the data from the government's Fahrenheit 451 approach, but it's only sometimes successful.
