The EA community as a whole doesn’t have any rights as it’s not a legal person. Grant receivers don’t have legal rights to get any information on grant providers, but it is common to do some kind of due diligence, the only thing they can do is not accept grants if they don’t get information (and this happens sometimes). The same is true for investors in private companies, by the way, there is no obligation to provide information, but they of course they just won’t invest if they don’t get the information they need.
If you are talking about moral rights instead of legal rights this is of course a very different thing and highly debatable.
Does the EA community as a whole have the right to request SBF to show us the financials of FTX/Alameda and let us examine it though?
Grant receivers going at the grant provider, asking him to show accountability?
