Here at MuckRock, we understand that transparency isn’t easy - or rather, resisting the urge for secrecy is hard. You didn’t mean to shred those incriminating documents, you just redacted a line or two and things got out of hand. It happens. Which is why, starting today, we’re offering indulgences for your sunshine sins - MuckRock Transparency Offsets.

Over-redaction of FOIA documents is threatening to wipe out this noble species, and only you can stop it. Urge your FOIA officer to #ThinkOfTheBeetle before applying that b(5).
