About FTRCRP

This is an independent research and media platform. No ads. No sponsors. No investors. What you read here is funded by consulting work and the people who find it worth reading.

We cover cybersecurity, surveillance, digital rights, and the friction between technology and human life. When something is important and underreported, we write about it. When something is technically complex, we try to make it legible without making it dumb.

The investigations are real. The sources are cited. The opinions are ours.

We are not affiliated with any government, vendor, or security firm. We don’t accept sponsored content. We don’t do affiliate links. If something is worth your attention, we’ll say why… and if it isn’t, we won’t waste your time.

Beyond the research, we publish essays and video work exploring technology, identity, and the human condition at mr0zum on Substack and YouTube. If the work means something to you, the best way to support it is simple: subscribe, like, and share.

On AI tools

AI tools are part of how the work gets made. Signals, investigations, analysis, opinion, and guides are AI-assisted with a human in the loop; drafts are reviewed and signed off by a named natural person before publication. The Security Digest is a fully automated weekly pipeline that fetches, summarises, and drafts each issue end-to-end, with light-touch human gating on publication. Every article carries a disclosure block at the foot stating which mode applies and pointing at the AI transparency notice for the full policy. Editorial responsibility rests with Thomas A. Kleppestø as a named natural person.
