TL;DR no records found. Either HB really is a bunch of libs or I didn't word the request well enough. Never done one of these before.

Maybe it's all under Chapo.chat still.

    Does that count? Mentioning something in the comment field or wherever you put it? I'd think you'd need to include it in the proper request itself or another request. But I don't know. Just seems like a bureaucratic thing where they'd conveniently not include that because why would they go the extra mile in transparency and being helpful?

    It's like, SUPER open ended. Like all they ask about your request is a singular text box. I mean it's the same organization right?

    My request was "I would like to request all available information regarding the website "hexbear.net". Any analysis of, investigation related to, or other data about the site or users of the site where this connection is significant. The site was previously known as "chapo.chat" prior to 2021."
