Rust Core Team + Mozilla To Create A Rust Foundation
Rust's core team and Mozilla are announcing plans to create a Rust foundation with the hopes of establishing this legal entity by year's end. The trademarks and related assets of Rust, Cargo, and Crates.io will belong to this foundation. Work is well underway on establishing this foundation with originally coming to the idea of possibly creating an independent Rust foundation last year, now pushed along by the recent Mozilla layoffs and the global pandemic. This should allow the Rust community more safety rather than being reliant upon a sole organization (Mozilla) and help foster growth and open up new possibilities.

First they need to fix the White Supremacist Rust compiler so it no longer generates racist, eurocentric code. [westernjournal.com]

Interesting site. They seem to cover foreign media outlets too. And their style seems rather neutral. I wonder who is funding them.

Yeah, I refer there every time I see someone post a link from some website I have never heard of as "fact".
