Public deletion ledgers

Dataset public-deletion-ledgers · Assessed 2026-10-08T12:47:59Z

Ingests public RSS/Atom deletion and blocking ledgers (CDT, GreatFire, FreeWeibo-style). Each feed is a candidate; if every ledger is unreachable the runner abstains rather than publish a zero.

Coverage is still developing. Inspect the dated reading for what was actually collected.

How to use this evidence

The reading timestamp records the instrument's evidence clock. The economic reference period or event date is defined inside the source record. A recent collection does not turn an old observation into a current one. Counts describe this dataset's coverage, not all activity in China.
