I traced $2 billion in nonprofit grants and 45 states of lobbying records to figure out who's behind the age verification bills (www.reddit.com)

God, I hate posting a Reddit comment, but this is huge. Every claim is sourced (I have not verified personally).

Edit: Well, Reddit does what reddit does, it's been removed. Here is a github link: https://github.com/upper-up/meta-lobbying-and-other-findings

"The research is published in a git repository with every source embedded. It does not depend on Reddit's infrastructure to survive."

That kind of surprised me too, so I downloaded the repository. Now it's sitting on my archival drive in case I need to put it somewhere, and dumped on a random neocities website for... amusement mostly.

Shouldn't be hard to clone it to any other git server. Since you're concerned, get on it.

Sdf probably even has their own.

Yup, they do! It's on the list of 101 SDF things I should be using but somehow amn't.

I wonder how many forks outside of Github there would be going for this repo by end of tomorrow...

A whole domain? Hopefully this doesn't cost them much. I'm guessing until then copies of the repo on notabug and/or codeberg that one can cross-check ought suffice.
