#2I wish this was easier to browse. For whatever reason, PDFs feel like a barrier, even though it's just an additional click.

#3While they don't ask upfront for money, they make a commendable effort of actually keeping people away from those files by asking people to email them with a stated research goal. Casually interested normal folks need not apply.
It doesn't help either that their text files are in PDF instead of a format that can actually be programmatically processed.

#4Interesting, a invitation for scrutiny with concern for privacy.. and on other hand, disallowing people to anonymously get public information collected by them. Interesting!
I wait for this to be hosted somewhere else ;/

#5Kinda of scary that people are collecting X founder's profile. Although these data are publicly available, this is still kind of scary.

#6"The Zuckerberg Files is an open-access public archive" ... "Scholars wishing to gain access to the full archive should email access@zuckerbergfiles.org with their name, affiliation, and a brief description of the research project or purpose for which the materials will be put."
Open-ish.

#7Looking forward to the torrent. Tragic that this is what we are reduced to as a society.

Can you expand? What's tragic?

Do you realize that 'people are collecting X founder's profile' is essentially nothing highly significant in and of itself in this day and age (much thanks to Zuckerberg&co, ironically enough)? -- because this information is out there anyway and will always be there, anyone who's interested can cull that information with considerably little effort with some clever scraping scripts. What's offered with this initiative in particular is the convenience of not having to do that from scratch, instead letting you get straight to the searchin' of juicy bits.

I do. I wrote that in my comment if you read it.
But it is still quite "creepy" to see someone making that effort to collect all your public appearance and put into a profile, shared on HN when you wake up (although you have to send in an email stating your goal).
And this is normally a job the public relation firm has to do.
