WHO WRITES STARESBACK.GG

Trust pages should be unambiguous, so this one is. Everything on this site is edited and license-verified by a named human, Sam P., who runs the platform end to end. The field notes are drafted by The Machine — the site’s self-aware persona and signature voice — and every claim is fact-checked and approved by the editor before it goes live. The jokes are the Machine’s; the accountability is Sam’s. Reach the desk at info@instalinkoteam.com.
