This seems like a potentially important website but with the paywall and design issues it is hard to assess the quality.

Important for what? Not getting snitched on when comitting crime?

Wait, so this is a website outing police informants, and you have to pay to access it? Who has a reason to do that except for people knowingly committing organised crime? Is this just a very weird honey pot?

Doesn't "police informant" include whistleblowers and other useful roles? I don't see why a person who reports lack of PPE on a worksite should be grouped with a cop that asks for bribes.

I'm also curious what kind of validation is done, if any, though I can take a guess.

Overall not much to be discussed here, so I'm flagging.

It could also be collecting money from informants who are checking to see if they’re on the website.
