US axes website for reporting human rights abuses by US-armed foreign forces

Because the US government is no longer even pretending to care about human rights.

And it was always purely a pretense.

One must laud the transparency this administration has introduced.

One really mustn't. There are plenty of people who work in government that actually care about human rights - this 'tear it down' mentality relies on the fantasy that it will be rebuilt in some better form. And this kind of 'both sides' bullshit from the article highlights it perfectly:

> Blaha had already voiced frustration that despite the HRG passing its pilot phase, the Biden administration had not done enough to publicise it, meaning the provision to "facilitate receipt" of information was still not being fully honoured before the Trump administration deleted the channel entirely.

One side didn't publicize it as much as we would have preferred, and the other one deleted it entirely. Both sides are bad!
