Editorial Policy

1. What Deemona Is

Deemona is a technology platform that automatically aggregates publicly available news headlines, summaries, and links from RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds published by third-party news organisations. Deemona functions as a search and discovery tool, similar to Google News, Apple News, Flipboard, and Feedly.

Deemona does not employ journalists, editors, reporters, or fact-checkers who produce original content. The platform's role is solely to collect, organise, and present links to content that has already been published by independent news organisations.

No human editorial decision is made about which individual articles to include or exclude within an active source. Articles appear automatically based on the RSS feeds published by each source.

2. Source Selection Criteria

Deemona selects news sources, not individual articles. Sources are evaluated based on the following criteria:

• The source must operate an active, publicly accessible RSS feed
• The source must be a recognised news publication, broadcaster, or wire agency
• The source is assessed against publicly available media bias and factual accuracy ratings from third-party evaluators (e.g. Media Bias/Fact Check, AllSides)
• Sources rated as having "Very Low" factual accuracy by established third-party evaluators are generally excluded
• Geographic and linguistic diversity is considered to provide balanced global coverage

Source selection is a platform-level operational decision, not an endorsement of any source's content, editorial positions, or political viewpoints. The inclusion of a source does not imply that Deemona agrees with or validates anything published by that source.

3. AI Bias Scoring — Methodology and Limitations

Deemona applies automated AI-generated political bias scores to articles and sources. These scores are:

• Generated entirely by machine learning models without human review of individual articles
• Based on source-level bias ratings combined with automated language analysis
• Presented on a scale from -5 (far left) to +5 (far right) for informational purposes only
• Not a representation of Deemona's own political views or editorial stance
• Subject to algorithmic error, misclassification, and model limitations

4. No Editorial Responsibility for Third-Party Content

Deemona expressly disclaims all editorial responsibility for content published by third-party sources. Specifically:

• Deemona does not verify, fact-check, or validate individual articles from third-party sources
• Deemona is not responsible for inaccurate, misleading, defamatory, hateful, or false content published by third parties
• The appearance of an article on Deemona does not constitute endorsement, verification, or approval of its content
• Readers are strongly advised to read articles at their original source and apply their own critical judgement
• Deemona is not a publisher of news content under applicable press law and regulation

5. Fact-Checking Labels

Where Deemona displays fact-check labels (e.g. "Disputed", "Unverified", "Contains False Claims"), these are generated automatically by AI models and are:

• Not the result of human editorial review
• Not verified by accredited fact-checking organisations
• Provided as an informational signal only, not as a definitive determination of truth or falsity
• Subject to algorithmic error

Deemona accepts no liability arising from fact-check labels applied to articles. Publishers who believe a label has been incorrectly applied may contact editorial@deemona.com.

6. Corrections and Complaints

Deemona welcomes corrections, complaints, and takedown requests from publishers, journalists, and members of the public.

Please note: Deemona can only remove or modify content as it appears on the Deemona platform. We cannot alter or remove content from the original publisher's website. For corrections at source, please contact the original publisher directly.

7. Transparency Commitment

Deemona is committed to operational transparency. Our Transparency Dashboard (available at /transparency) publishes: the full list of active sources, source-level bias ratings, aggregation statistics, and editorial intervention logs. We believe transparency is fundamental to trustworthy news aggregation.
