About

Built by people who got tired of finding out too late.

Most laws and policies that change the rules of digital life get written about in language that filters out anyone without a law degree. The consequences land on everyone else.

What this is

A series of plain-language public service announcements about laws and policies that quietly change what's possible online. Each one follows the same shape: what was true before, what would be true after, who is saying what, what's happening on what timeline, and what you can do. The full series is organized around nine recurring threat vectors.

Who built it

A small volunteer group connected to OpenCivics. No funding, no organizational mandate, no client.

What this isn't

Not partisan. Not alarmist. Not anti-police. The objection is structural: architectures of mass access don't only get used by the people who build them.

How it's sourced

Every claim links back to a primary source — bill text, formal briefs, statements from companies, expert commentary. The site translates rather than generates. Each announcement has a "Sources / Receipts" section at the bottom.
