The Biden administration has launched a task force that will allow private companies like Google as well as researchers to access large sets of sensitive data about Americans that were previously collected and available only to the government.

There is and has been a manual penalty against your site for some time. I can't help you.
In closing
The penalty is ongoing as of April 2021, and is killing The Online Slang Dictionary.
Please help me in spreading the word. If you've found The Online Slang Dictionary to be useful, please let your friends and colleagues know about the site. The only way to save it is to get the word out.
