Reporting a correction
We publish corrections on the page that was wrong, with the date and what changed. To make that possible, please include:
- The URL and the specific claim.
- What the correct information is.
- A source we can verify — ideally a primary one: an ordinance, a staff report, an official dataset, a court record.
If a claim in a debate argument is wrong, the fastest route is the Request Fact Check button on the argument itself. It puts the item in the moderation queue with your reason attached and produces a public result on the argument.
Moderation appeals
Write from the email address on the account, include the link to the removed item and a short explanation. Appeals are reviewed by a moderator who was not involved in the original decision. See the community guidelines for what is and is not allowed, and the how it works page for how escalation works.
Media enquiries
We can speak about local government participation, public meeting access, petition and initiative processes, and the design of structured online debate. We do not comment on the merits of individual candidates or ballot measures. Logos and boilerplate are on the press page.
Security and vulnerabilities
If you believe you have found a security issue, write to [email protected] with the details and please give us a reasonable window to fix it before publishing. We do not pursue researchers who act in good faith.
Postal mail
A postal address for legal notices is published here and in our terms of use as soon as it is registered.
