Title: Vanishing Complaints, Vanishing Accountability: A Digital Crackdown
They’re not just ignoring complaints anymore. They’re deleting the tools we use to file them.
Across federal and state government websites, once-accessible grievance forms are vanishing. The pages still exist—but links lead nowhere, phone numbers loop endlessly, and when you finally get through? You’re told, “That’s not handled here anymore.”
This isn’t modernization. This is systemic erasure of accountability.
Let’s break down the playbook:
Kill the forms. The Medicare complaint form? Buried. Local government grievance pages? Replaced with vague "contact us" boxes. State departments? Redirect loops or PDFs that no longer open.
Remove direct contact options. Want to talk to someone? Good luck. Phone numbers are automated, emails bounce, and offices refer you to “online portals” that no longer exist.
Claim it's for efficiency. “Too many submissions.” “We’re updating our system.” “Please be patient.” These excuses echo across sites. But no updates come. No timelines are given.
Pretend it's a user error. When people complain that they can’t complain, they're told to clear their browser cache, try a different device, or “check back later.” Gaslight 101.
The real impact:
Whistleblowers silenced.
Abuse victims blocked from reporting.
Disability and elder advocates stonewalled.
Health care grievances buried.
They’re banking on apathy. On frustration. On the belief that you’ll give up trying.
But we’re not giving up. We’re getting louder.
This is a coordinated purge of digital accountability. And every missing form is a cover-up. Every broken link is a barrier. Every ignored voice is a wound that festers.
Share this. Screenshot the broken pages. Name the agencies. Tag your reps. Call your local news. Use your platforms.
If they’re burning down the paper trail, we’ll build a fire so bright they can’t hide in the smoke.
