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

Of course!
From a consent perspective, I wonder whether it's paying attention to existing signals like indexable and discoverable on public posts?
@jdp23 @ansuz @Homebrewandhacking I suspect it isn't. Consent seems to be ignored a lot of the time, the exceptions are notable.
There's little excuse for ignorance now.

the fact that the apparent author links to readily.news from their masto bio but fails to mention that it's their project makes me think that they know what they're doing is sketchy.
people who are proud of their work tend to put their name on it, but even on the site itself there's zero mention of who's behind it. I only found confirmation of it because I went digging through old versions on archive.org

@jdp23 @onepict @ansuz @Homebrewandhacking I don't think so, considering followers-only posts are being scraped
