Curious to see Scribd mentioned. Last time I used anything on Scribd was a decade ago to embed some PDFs that should have been web pages really.
Then they made it all paywalled so that was that.
I think their business has 'mySpaced' and fundamentally does not go with how people consume content. Nobody wants a PDF these days.
So why are they mentioned now?
Well, the report is wrong!!! It is a scanned document. So it is not digital. They could have written it with HTML5 but they are stuck in the past, twenty years out of date. PDF was okay back then but not now. Scanned images in a PDF are not accessible. You can't search it.
People who like PDF because they used it for legal documents back in the day have their arguments about why to use PDF. But if this report came from a single URL and was a tenth the size in HTML then nobody would have problems determining if the page was genuine or a fake - it would be in the URL.
Nobody would need to disperse copies of it over the internets. Just the one URL would do.
Really I think that this Mueller chap and the whole freaking government needs to be sacked and prosecuted for not making their work accessible. It is important to democracy.
