You found it.
Now let us orient you.

ZeroPoint FYI is an independent investigative outlet based in San Diego. No sponsors. No advertisers. No editorial filters. Just documented investigations into things that matter and that mainstream outlets either miss or won't touch.

Everything published here has a paper trail. If it can't be sourced, it doesn't run.

// What we cover

Surveillance State — The infrastructure being quietly built around you. License plate readers in every city. Smart streetlights that turned out to be cameras. Government contracts with private data brokers. Biometric databases. ALPR networks with no oversight.

Chemical Watch — What's in your food and why the regulatory system that's supposed to stop harmful additives is full of exemptions the size of freight containers.

Corporate Capture — How industries write the rules that govern them. Follow the money from lobbying to policy to the people whose job is supposed to be protecting you.

Suppressed Science — Research that got buried. Researchers who changed conclusions after grant money arrived. Industry-funded studies. The pattern of findings that threaten profitable businesses never quite making it into regulatory decisions.

// Read these three first

01
Surveillance State — ~18 min
You Can't Turn It Off
San Diego installed 3,200 surveillance cameras disguised as energy-efficient streetlights. Police used them 392 times before residents knew they existed. When the city tried to shut them down, the vendor refused. This is the clearest example of how surveillance infrastructure gets normalized.

Surveillance State — ~22 min
The System Wasn't Hacked. It Worked.
Inside America's largest license plate surveillance network. Flock Safety's cameras weren't breached. They streamed to the open internet. Accounts sold on Russian forums. The network tracked protesters and abortion patients. This is what "smart city" infrastructure actually looks like from the inside.

Chemical Watch — ~16 min
The Chemical Gap
The FDA's GRAS designation lets food manufacturers self-certify that their own additives are safe. No pre-market approval. No independent testing required. This investigation breaks down which chemicals in your grocery list were never actually reviewed by the agency supposedly protecting you.

// The ethos

This publication exists because the incentive structure of mainstream media makes certain investigations impossible. When your revenue depends on advertisers, you don't investigate advertisers. When your access depends on relationships with officials, you don't burn those officials. ZeroPoint FYI has no advertisers and no access to protect.

Questions are the product. Redaction is futile.
