Update. The Dept of Defense (#DOD) just released the implementation plan for its upgraded #OpenAccess policy under the Biden-era #OSTP #NelsonMemo.

This is the first fed agency action of its kind since #Trump took office. Note that, so far, this work has not stopped or changed.


Update The #Trump admin has taken down the #OSTP #NelsonMemo.

It was formerly at this URL.

You can still find it in the @internetarchive #WaybackMachine, as recently as Jan 18, 2025.

We can't tell yet whether it was taken down because Trump officials didn't like the #OpenAccess policies it laid out, didn't like its use of #DEI language — or both.

It just came out that Meta downloaded via Torrent over 80 terabytes of books taken from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-Library to train their AI models, and nobody is guilty. In contrast, in 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded just 70 GB of academic articles from JSTOR (only 0.0854% of what Meta took) and faced $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison. Unable to bear the situation, he took his own life in 2013.

I'm starting a #Mastodon thread on the new #Trump administration's actions and positions on #OpenAccess to research.

I posted frequently about the actions of his first administration. But I did it on #Twitter / #X, which I no longer use.

As background to this new Mastodon thread, see my tweets on his first term, which I've collected on a wiki page.
