@v  is there a page where one can see who is running Farcaster validators and under which jurisdiction?

Where? the docker compose file only has 5 hex addresses. I don't see who they correspond to. Is there an other place?

Thanks for the feedback, filed this to improve validator set visibility https://github.com/farcasterxyz/snapchain/issues/437. We run 4 nodes and neynar runs 1 node. We wanted to keep this small and closed for launch

Once snapchain is stable (few months) we'll set up a process to  add more validators

Yeap, that's in the docker-compose file.

What I need is a page that shows the entities, and number of validators they operate.

For example, knowing that Merkle Manufacture and Naynar are the only entities running nodes, means that the US can censor Farcaster in the same way they can sensor Twitter or Facebook. 

Actually, it's worst: Twitter and Facebook have local presence in other countries, so the US could sensor something or someone that is still visible outside the US. The way Snapchain operates right now, the US could just sensor Farcaster globally.

Not to mention that financially, Google, Facebook, Twitter etc, are in a position to enter a legal battle with a government or a judge, that MM or Neynar may not be able to.
