Keep the registry free
The registry takes no money. From anyone. No ads, no donations, no sponsorships, no paywalls — a bribe registry that sells attention or access would be a contradiction. Server, moderation, and legal costs are paid out of the operator's own pocket, as a public utility.
So how do I support it? The support it needs costs nothing:
- File your report. One honest report is worth more than any money — the data is the mission.
- Tell one person who is about to visit an RTO, a sub-registrar, or a police station about Know before you go.
- Build with the open data — journalism, research, civic tools. Attribution is the only price.
- Flag what's wrong. If you see anything that identifies a person, report it — protecting the covenant is protecting the registry.
