Sources

1,040 sources behind the study.

Every source the research read, cited or archived: documentation, papers, essays, threads and code. Pages from the same site are grouped together, largest group first.

The research stored a copy of each source with its address, retrieval time and a content hash, so that every claim could be checked against the text as it was read. The links below go to the live pages, which may have changed since.
