According to the Associated Press, black lawmakers including Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-La. and Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C., have called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director James Comey to “devote the resources necessary to determine whether these developments are an anomaly or whether they are indicative of an underlying trend that must be addressed.” http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2017/03/24/missing-dc-girls-celebrities-tweet-missing-teens-social-media/99583048/

As the tweets below attest, the hashtag #missingDCgirls was trending on Twitter, but was suddenly pulled from it's #3 spot to gone. When typing the hashtag into a tweet, it no longer autofilled to #missingDCgirls, but to another hashtag which wouldn't carry any of the viral tweets, #missingDCteens. This is something the Saudi-owned website does with regularity.
