Editorial standards
Editorial Policy
FFVN publishes for practical accuracy, victim safety, and public understanding—not outrage or unverified accusation. Content must distinguish education from official findings, use primary sources where available, disclose material limitations and conflicts, protect sensitive information, obtain publication consent for victim stories, and provide a clear correction path.
Accuracy and independence
- Editorial decisions are not sold to vendors, subjects, referral partners, or advertisers.
- Claims are attributed and linked to the strongest available source.
- Allegations are not presented as established criminal findings.
- Material uncertainty, jurisdiction limits, and professional-review needs remain visible.
Victim stories
- Only first-hand accounts are considered.
- Nothing is published automatically.
- Consent choices are documented and may be withdrawn before publication.
- Sensitive identity, financial, security, and investigative details are removed.
- Legal or editorial escalation is required when a draft could create undue harm or a misleading accusation.
Responsible use of AI tools
AI tools may assist with organization, editing, or quality checks, but do not replace source verification, consent, human editorial judgment, or qualified professional review. FFVN does not publish bulk, unreviewed AI-generated pages.
