/* meanings:
fiTbl <= table of financial institutions
parent <= name of parent company
fi_kind <= kind of financial institution
hrecaptcha <= If the FI pushes an hCAPTCHA or Google reCAPTCHA, we track whether it's forced on customers in all situations,
or if it's only used for things like submission of a non-essential form. We don't care about other kinds of CAPTCHAs.
cflogin <= If the transactional (login) host for a service uses CloudFlare (tor-hostile or not), this boolean is true.
If only non-transactional pages use CF then this boolean is false, but we note it in the notes.
antitor <= If a non-CF site blocks or impedes Tor users (often by 403 error) then this boolean is true.
This is still false for Tor-hostile CF blockades because we capture that with cflogin & hrecaptcha attributes.
alec <= True if the FI is a /current/ ALEC member. We're not vindictive toward former members.
forced_nfsw <= Forced use of non-free software. All FIs distribute non-free software, but we set this to true if there is no means of access with free software.
foxnews <= True if the FI sponsored Fox News, which promotes right-wing extremism.
aws <= True if the FI's transactional site is hosted by Amazon AWS, thus promoting an evil corp while exposing sensitive data to it.
cispa <= True if the FI lobbied in favor of the CISPA act.
dt <= True if the FI forces staff to take drug tests.
