Probably not. Sooner rather than later most free press will be shut down by trump and the only news that anyone will get is whatever there government wants you to hear. Stories like this will disappear.
Do you remember every single mainstream outlet falling in line to promote the Iraq war? To blackout the antiwar protests? Going to Occupy Wallstreet and interviewing random weirdos instead of the organizer’s designated press people? The coverage of Ukraine? The coverage of Israel?
Have you watched the news in the US in the time period since the original post? Has any news media even mentioned this? A post on mastodon is great. I would venture that 99% of the population from the US doesn’t use Mastodon, tho I don’t really know for sure the numbers . Of the percentage that do, how many are going to see this person’s post?

That’s already the case.

I think you vastly overestimate how organized the Trump admin is. I’m sure they will try, though.
It’ll only get more competent and organized as time goes on.
Don’t you think that’s a bit of a hysterical take?
Stories like this one, someone noticing that a website has been taken down, will disappear??
It’s hardly the peak of investigative journalism or a complicated story requiring hundreds of hours of work by a trained journalist.
Hysterical as in funny? It’s already happening.

If you cut off a story before it’s printed, you never even have to take it down.
No, I mean hysterical as in overly exaggerated due to high emotion.

Nah the free press like the billionaires and everyone else who wants to stay in business will lick Trump’s balls.
