All this talk of Riseup being anti-capitalist and people being selective
about their invites is rather amusing.

Maybe people on this listserve are not aware that Riseup.net (along with
LEAP) are listed as receiving over $250,000 USD from government funding.
And that was only the funding which could be confirmed. The few public
records I did receive are full of heavy redactions. Netherlands and
Sweden still have classified documents, but refuse to release them.
Along with some European governments, the US Department of State was
also involved in this funding mechanism.

I would really like Riseup.net to publicly say whether or not Riseup.net
still receives government funding or support. Hopefully, Riseup.net will
publicly disclose the funding it has received.
