Verify a decision

Every moderation decision on AVOID.NET is anchored to the Solana blockchain. You don't have to trust us — you can verify cryptographically that we committed to a verdict at a specific moment and have not rewritten it.

How verification works

  1. We commit. When a moderator accepts/rejects a submission, we serialize the decision into deterministic UTF-8 bytes (payload_canonical_string), hash it with SHA-256, encode the digest as base58, and write it to Solana inside an SPL Memo v2 transaction.
  2. We store the bytes. The exact bytes we hashed are stored alongside the decision in our database. Anyone can read them and recompute the hash in any language.
  3. You compare three values. Database hash, your independently-recomputed hash, and the hash inside the on-chain memo. If all three match, the decision is authentic and timestamped.
The on-chain memo format is AVOID.NET|v1|h:<b58-sha256>|d:<id>|t:<iso>

Find a signature on any investigation page's decision log, or run python -m src.verify_decision --signature <sig> for a CLI check.

The two disputed findings (claim_findings[22] and claim_findings[30]) both concern the same single factual error: the Kok An OFAC designation date is stated as April 24 in both the narrative section and the timeline, while multiple contemporaneous news sources consistently place the announcement on April 23. This one-day discrepancy is a minor but concrete inaccuracy that should be corrected. Three unverifiable findings cover peripheral details (a forced-labor population estimate, a quoted descriptor specific to Dubai compounds, and GPS coordinates for Tai Chang sites), and seven partially supported claims reflect minor figure understatements or reliance on lower-tier sources for secondary details rather than substantive misrepresentations. One high-priority coverage gap — the status of the 270 non-federally-charged arrestees — warrants expansion but does not affect the accuracy of what is currently stated.","score_delta":-5,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
