Source?

This was the article that raised a small stir. Some question the motivation and accuracy of some of the statements. The grabber quote is:

The unprecedented disclosureโ€™s motivation was simple - the platform is rapidly running out of money, and in dire need of donations to stay afloat.

I think heโ€™s talking about this, but itโ€™s very clearly just a normal fundraising pitch that doesnโ€™t even hint at a current issue with funding.

One of their own posts. No motivation to research a link for you

Making an extraordinary claim, and then saying youโ€™re too lazy to provide a source weakens your claim

I donโ€™t think theyโ€™re in trouble, theyโ€™re just talking about long term funding because itโ€™s relevant. Canโ€™t expand and get more funding without mentioning that you need it

Of the articles I saw about funding

  • one was by Signal, estimating future costs
  • one was by that Grayzone guy, misrepresenting where funds were from (said it was CIA lol), how much was being changed (title implied it was entirely CIA funded but it was a past, publicly documented investment by a government program)
