WhatDoTheyKnow is a site by mySociety designed to help people in the United Kingdom make Freedom of Information requests.

[4][5][6][7] The site acts as a permanent public database archive of FOI requests made through it.

[25] The site was nominated for a number of awards: WhatDoTheyKnow volunteer Alex Skene gave evidence to Justice Committee related to Post-Legislative Scrutiny of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 on 21 February 2012.

In April 2012, Brighton and Hove councillor Jason Kitkat announced: “We [the council] are working with mySociety to adapt their WhatDoTheyKnow system to support a better workflow for freedom of information requests and proactive publishing of everything we release."

It now runs on the Alaveteli platform, which is itself an adaptation of the original code written to power WhatDoTheyKnow.
