Editorial standards
How we decide what to publish, how we label it, and what we expect of contributors.
Last updated 19 September 2026
Accuracy
We publish what we can support. Original articles state their sources; summaries are limited to what the original publisher reported. We do not speculate about attribution, victims or impact beyond the source material, and we do not present claims from a single source as established fact.
Labels
Every article carries a label: News summary (automated, attributed to the original publisher), News, Opinion or Research. Sponsored content, if ever introduced, will be labelled Sponsored at the top of the page.
Contributors
Contributors publish under their real names. Profiles list expertise and credentials as stated by the contributor; a Verified badge means the editors have checked identity and stated credentials against public sources. Contributors disclose affiliations that a reasonable reader would want to know.
Independence
Editorial decisions are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, vendors or sources. Purchase links for books are provided for reader convenience and are not endorsements; we do not publish ratings or reviews we did not produce.
Automation
Automated summaries are generated from feed metadata only, never from scraped article bodies, and are checked for length, language, relevance and safety before publication. See the automated content policy.
Fairness and harm
We do not publish exploit code, credentials, personal data from breaches, or instructions that would help an attacker. We avoid naming individuals as victims unless it is already public and relevant.
Corrections
Errors are corrected visibly. See the corrections policy.
