Indeed, some state FOIA laws even have provisions for dealing with "frequent requestors." (And to be fair, not all frequent requestors are acting in good faith. There was a push recently to bury the NSA in FOIA requests as a protest against surveillance. Not a great idea.)
Muckrock is awesome though.
- morisy 11y agoYes, we haven't run into that problem so far, but I know Illinois has pretty strict rules on this.
- fweespeech 11y agoThat is solved by a weighted queue based on an individual and rate limiting based on budget. E.g. The Pentagon will answer 100,000 requests per month, each individual will have a spot in the queue, when a request is received the next request from that individual is at (N requests * -1) in weight. So: X, Request 1, 0 N, Request 2, 0 Z, Request 3, 0 A, Request 5, 0 Q, Request 7, 0 X, Request 4, -1 [will be weighted 0 for next month] X, Request 6, -2 [will be weighted -1 for next month]
