    This seems like a terrible idea just waiting to have bots and trolls flood it with false reports.

      Why do you think they kept it so insecure? Tinfoil hat time:

      This is a way for the Trump administration to collect up to date personal information about their supporters so they can better target their ads and campaign strategy, while also serving as a bucket in which to collect "examples" of unjust censorship being levied against the administration's supposed supporters so they can be leveraged as a campaign tool.

        I don’t think there’s any tin foil hat needed, that’s exactly what the site is being used for. However, it looks simple enough to have lots of false data fed to it.

          I wouldn't be surprised if this was started as a spur of the moment thing by Trump. Angry over losing Twitter followers and convinced conservatives are being censored, he demanded a tool his cultists can use to report such censorship. His henchen had to slap it together quickly, on a shoestring budget and without the necessary technical expertise. This is the result.

          Hanlon's razor.

        I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but a lot of people and organizations are involved. These two pages on their site are probably the best to look at: About EFF and People.
