Journalist desk · public record only
Each record is a Palimpsest reconstruction: the public text we actually hold, language, first-seen / last-seen / last-confirmed-alive, every deletion confirmation, every Wayback / archive.today / Ghostarchive address, hashes, gazetteer hits, mirrors, and GDELT / OONI / GreatFire / CDT / Weibo / Bleedthrough joins. A journalist should be able to write from this object without hopping five other sites. This is not a private-message feed and not a live claim about anyone inside China.
Public posts that were already published, public deletion and blocking ledgers, Wayback reconstructions of those public URLs, GFW injector telemetry from separate instruments (OONI, Censored Planet, Inside View, Bleedthrough), and sanitized Common Crawl lake joins (capture time, MIME, language, digest) when a matching URL, host, or digest already exists on the node. The lake is not a live scrape and is not copied here.
Private WeChat, classified systems, in-country accounts, follower graphs, comments, locations, media binaries, or consumer profiles.
This desk never fabricates a live reading. A missing ledger or silent collector is a coverage gap, not proof of calm and not a zero.
