## TL;DR

Trustroots Foundation was [dissolved on 24 May 2022](https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09489825). Since July 2022, Trustroots has been operated by 3 private people, 2 of them resigned board members. Community members have been [intentionally kept](https://github.com/Trustroots/trustroots/commit/1a9185bc39e437290b0d4ccc07fb08be294844ef) in [dark about this](https://github.com/Trustroots/trustroots/issues/2585) by [people](https://github.com/chmac) [in](https://github.com/guaka) [control](https://github.com/robokow).
Trustroots Foundation was [dissolved on 24 May 2022](https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09489825). Between July 2022 and March 2024, Trustroots was operated by 3 private people, 2 of them resigned board members. Community members have been [intentionally kept](https://github.com/Trustroots/trustroots/commit/1a9185bc39e437290b0d4ccc07fb08be294844ef) in [dark about this](https://github.com/Trustroots/trustroots/issues/2585) by [people](https://github.com/chmac) [in](https://github.com/guaka) [control](https://github.com/robokow).

On 25 January 2024, almost all [volunteers](https://www.trustroots.org/team) were kicked out from Trustroots Github organization.

The people in control [write about decentralization](https://github.com/trustroots/nostroots), but silence dissent, perform censorship and concentrate control in their own hands.
One of the three people in control, who remained in contact with volunteers, was ["fired"](https://github.com/trustroots-community/trustrots/issues/2) by another one.

The remaining 2 people in control [write about decentralization](https://github.com/trustroots/nostroots), but silence dissent, perform censorship, and concentrate control in their own hands.

On 20 March 2024, [Foundation was restored](https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09489825/filing-history), previous directors removed, and Callum and Kasper are the Board of Directors of Trustroots Foundation now.

As of 7 May 2024, the [website](https://www.trustroots.org/foundation) still needs to be updated with these changes.

- Regarding GDPR, you can [exercise your rights](https://noyb.eu/en/exercise-your-rights) - from [withdrawing consent](https://noyb.eu/en/withdraw-your-consent) to [filing a complaint with GDPR authorities](https://noyb.eu/en/exercise-your-rights-article-77-complain-your-dpa) e.g. for lack of transparency about changes in data control.
