Who is in charge at DU? [View all]

Maybe I'm missing something in the various menus at the top/side, but I don't see any statement about how this whole blogosphere is owned and being governed.

Please point me to an over-arching statement about ownership, regulations, ownership.

Unfortunately I am starting to distrust even the supposed purveyors of trust.

How can we verify (see the TrueCrypt example) that you are who you say you are?

Who are your funders? What is your raison-d'etre?
