A WITNESS-FIRST COMMUNITYOriginal editorial illustration · Not case evidence
Listen carefully. Preserve the record.
A respectful response and a rigorous response are compatible. Start with the witness's exact account, protect their choices and keep interpretation separate from observation.
BEFORE YOU POST
Four checks protect the witness and the evidence.
Keep originals
Preserve the first-generation photo or video with its metadata unchanged.
Remove personal data
Check faces, voices, homes, number plates and precise private locations.
Label uncertainty
Say what is observed, what is inferred and what remains unknown.
Eight rules for useful discussion
- 01
Treat witnesses with dignity. Ask for detail without ridicule or pressure.
- 02
Label opinion, testimony, hypothesis, publisher claim and independently corroborated evidence accurately.
- 03
Do not publish personal data, private addresses or identifying details without consent.
- 04
No threats, harassment, hate speech, impersonation or targeted accusations.
- 05
Do not present AI-generated, edited or recreated media as an original observation.
- 06
Name the publisher when sharing government claims or stated case resolutions.
- 07
Moderators may pause posts while provenance, consent or safety concerns are checked.
- 08
Corrections are part of the work. Update or remove claims when the evidence changes.
WITNESS CARE
An unusual experience can be unsettling.
Community members must not diagnose, pressure or exploit a witness. Encourage contemporaneous notes, preservation of original files and appropriate professional support if the experience causes distress. Immediate safety concerns belong with emergency or aviation authorities.
