Content Compliance & Policy

This page documents the review and removal framework for content published on caseytunturi.com. Witness contains records at several evidence states; publication is not a blanket claim that every record has been independently verified.

Legal Compliance Framework

Content is reviewed against applicable legal requirements, privacy interests, factual corrections, and the public interest. This page describes the process; it is not a legal certification of every record.

Important Notice: A Witness record may be verified, pending verification, missing a complete source register, or preserved as an unreviewed legacy record. The record's visible state controls what the site claims about it.

Content Removal Criteria

Content may be reviewed and removed if it meets any of the following criteria:

  1. Factual Inaccuracy - Documented events that are provably false or based on misinformation
  2. Privacy Violations - Content that violates individual privacy rights beyond public interest
  3. Legal Requirements - Court orders or legitimate legal mandates requiring removal
  4. Harmful Content - Material that poses immediate risk of serious harm and lacks public interest justification
  5. Outdated Information - Content that has been officially corrected or superseded by authoritative sources

Exceptions: Content related to public officials, government actions, and matters of significant public interest receives heightened protection under public interest doctrine.

Archival Practices

Witness is a mixed-state archive. The site preserves each record's stated evidence boundary rather than implying that every entry has the same custody or verification status.

Source transparency

  • Entries expose their current evidence state
  • Public source and archive links are shown when the record contains them
  • The Witness timeline and non-verified detail pages carry noindex directives; only explicitly verified records with an exposed source register enter the sitemap
  • The site's source history preserves corrections to published records

No blanket claim is made that every entry is independently mirrored, immutable, or pinned to IPFS.
