How we check this
Every answer here is a claim about what you are allowed to do. Here is how those claims get made.
Every answer, four steps
- 01
Start at the rule
The regulator, the statute, the decision, or the platform’s own policy. Never someone’s summary of it.
- 02
Check every link
Each one opened and confirmed to load a live page that still says what we claim it says.
- 03
Check it again
A second pass against the live sources through an independent third-party service, so verification never rests on the pass that wrote the draft.
- 04
Human review, then ship
Anything the second pass cannot confirm gets rewritten or dropped. Nothing publishes without a source you can open.
What counts as a source
- A regulator or agency
- A statute or a court decision
- The platform’s own policy or help page
- A law firm write-up
- A news summary of the rule
- An SEO article about the rule
A summary of a rule is not a source for that rule. What you need to be able to show someone is the rule itself.
Requirements versus judgment calls
Stated plainly as a requirement, with the rule that requires it.
Everything past the rule, framed as a consideration. We do not tell you where to stand.
Dates
Every source carries the date of the thing cited, and every answer carries the date its links were last opened. An undated answer about a moving target is a wrong answer waiting to happen.
The newsletter
Same standard
Every claim in an issue links to the primary source behind it.
Only what changed
Nothing goes in because it is interesting. It goes in because it changed something you have to do.
Corrections run forward
Issues are not quietly edited after they land. A correction runs in the next one, where the people who read the mistake will see it.
Found a mistake?
Every answer has an Is something wrong? link on its page. It reaches us directly, and you can leave an email if you want a reply. Reports get checked against the primary source, and anything wrong gets fixed with its date moved.
What no lawyer did
No lawyer reviews this
None of this is legal advice. It is marketing research: what the rule says, where it says it, and what it means for the work. If an answer matters enough to bet a campaign or an account on, take it and its primary source to someone qualified to advise you. That is exactly why the source is on every answer.
