A memo distributed by NSA leadership to its staff says that on February 10, all NSA websites and internal network pages that contain banned words will be deleted. This is the list of 27 banned words distributed to NSA staff:
Anti-Racism
Racism
Allyship
Bias
DEI
Diversity
Diverse
Confirmation Bias
Equity
Equality
Equitableness
Feminism
Gender
Gender Identity
Inclusion

Injustice
Intersectionality
Prejudice

Racial Identity
Sexuality
Stereotypes

The purge extends beyond public-facing websites to pages on the NSA's internal network, including project management software like #Jira and #Confluence.
The NSA is trying to identify mission-related sites before the "Big Delete" is executed but appears to lack the personnel to do so.
