Terms of Use
These terms protect the people whose stories are told, the sources whose work is credited, and the readers who rely on Humanity Beacon.
Editorial content
Humanity Beacon publishes original summaries, reporting, commentary, and media for which it has permission. Source links remain visible. Material may be corrected, updated, retracted, or archived as new facts emerge.
Story submissions
Submitting a lead does not guarantee publication. Submitters must not knowingly provide false information, confidential material they lack authority to share, or media they do not have permission to provide.
Humanity Beacon may contact submitters or named sources to verify a story before publication.
Acceptable use
Do not attempt to access the private newsroom, disrupt the service, impersonate another person, scrape private information, or use the site to harass people named in a story.
No guarantee
Humanity Beacon works to report accurately, but no publication can promise that every fact will remain unchanged. Corrections are part of trustworthy reporting, not evidence that correction should be hidden.
