Editorial and corrections policy

How articles are written, versioned, corrected and withdrawn.

Last updated 21 October 2026.

What we publish

ProofProfile News publishes reporting and analysis on verifiable evidence, AI agents and the economics of trust. Every article names its author. Opinion and analysis are presented as such.

Every version is evidence

When an article is published, its reader-visible content is captured in a snapshot, registered on CopyrightChains and timestamped on Bitcoin. Each later change to that content creates a new version with its own registration (a new token symbol, such as PPIT0004) and its own timestamps. The new version links to the previous one, and earlier versions stay available through the article's evidence links and the versions API. Changes to tags, layout or other things readers do not see as content do not create a version.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we correct it in the article. A correction that changes facts is noted in the article text. Because every change becomes a new registered version, anyone can compare the corrected version with the earlier one, and the earlier one is never altered or hidden.

To report an error, email info@siliconislands.net with the article's address and what you believe is wrong. We review every report and reply.

Withdrawing an article

We withdraw an article only for a serious reason, such as a legal requirement. A withdrawn article is removed from the site and marked as withdrawn in its evidence. Its registrations on CopyrightChains and Bitcoin remain, as they cannot be removed; we say so openly rather than pretend otherwise.

Headlines are permanent

Each registration's token is named after the article's title at that version. Headlines are therefore written with the knowledge that every version's title stays on record permanently.

Independence

ProofProfile News is published by Silicon Islands AB, which also develops ProofProfile.it and ProofProfile.net. Some articles report on these services, the company or its partners; this page is the disclosure of that interest for every article on the site, so read those articles with it in mind.

Complaints

Complaints about an article go to info@siliconislands.net. Reports of illegal content, including comments, follow the procedure in the Legal notice.
