🚫 What We Won't Correct

We take all error reports seriously, but some requests fall outside our correction policy:

Opinion Disagreements: If you simply disagree with our analysis, opinion, or framing, that's not an error. You can share your perspective in the comments.
Incomplete Information: If we didn't include every detail you wanted but what we published is accurate, that's editorial choice, not error.
Promotional Requests: We won't add links, mentions, or content just because someone asks us to — only if it improves accuracy.
Style Preferences: If you prefer different wording, phrasing, or tone but the facts are correct, that's not an error.
Legal Threats: If you're threatening legal action instead of discussing the facts, we'll refer you to our legal team. See our DMCA Notice.
