does anyone know who's behind "open.news"?

https://open.news/

> Open.News is the command center for the decentralized newsverse.

Looks like they're ingesting people's fediverse feeds into LLMs and feeding slop to people. I only noticed because it was mostly visiting non-existent or malformed URLs.

it says "powered by Feedbrainer.ai", and while I didn't find any matches for that I did find https://feedbrain.ai/

I can't tell if open.news is a subsidiary of feedbrain, or just someone depending on their API. If it is them, they're based in Dubai:
