Trust & transparency

How ThreadEast works

ThreadEast is a discovery and context layer over selected public trend pages, not an archive or a truth score.

Minimal collection

We collect list-page metadata: title, rank, public URL, source heat label, and capture time. We do not store article bodies, comments, videos, account data, or user profiles.

Direct provenance

Every signal names its source and links to the original public page. Source rankings describe attention on that platform; they do not prove that a circulating claim is true.

Bounded AI

Automation translates only known titles and classifies broad categories. It must not invent people, dates, causes, outcomes, or background. Model and prompt versions are retained internally.

Automatic publishing

Collected public titles are translated, categorized, and published automatically. Machine-translated single signals remain distinct from multi-source trend clusters.

Responsible sources

Sources must be public, policy-checked, and registered before collection. We do not automate logins, solve CAPTCHAs, evade access controls, or collect from sources that prohibit it.

Corrections and removal

We correct material errors visibly and retain correction metadata. Rights holders and source operators can request source-specific removal or correction.
