How the record is built
How records are established, what gets published, what never does.
Scope
The record covers acts in the physical world: damage, desecration, arson, theft, assault, delivered threats. A material target must have been hit. Speech, publications, demonstrations and online content are excluded — not because they are trivial, but because a record of facts must be able to say where and when.
Who characterises
TorahGuard never characterises an act as antisemitic. Each record reports who did — police, prosecutor, court, monitoring organisation, news outlet, community representative — and reproduces their exact wording, in their language. The definition of antisemitism is subject to documented disagreement; taking sides would mean leaving the record for commentary.
What is published automatically
A record is published without human review only when an authority characterised the facts, or two distinct outlets did; when the date, country and source are established; when a timestamped copy of the article has been kept; and when a second model, tasked with refuting it, found nothing wrong. Everything else waits for review.
What is never published
No personal name, neither alleged perpetrator nor victim. No role that would let someone be recognised. No origin, nationality, religion or immigration status attributed to a perpetrator. No judgemental adjective in the site own prose. These prohibitions are enforced by fixed rules, on top of model review: a legal safeguard never rests on a machine judgement alone.
Correcting a record
An error, a source that retracts, a fact reclassified: report it as a contribution under the record concerned. A withdrawn record leaves a trace of its withdrawal rather than disappearing.
