Fact-Checking Policy

1. Our Commitment to Accuracy

At Xiaomileaks, accuracy and credibility are central to our editorial mission. We are committed to publishing information that is factual, verified, and presented in a clear and responsible manner. Our fact-checking process is designed to minimise errors and ensure that readers can trust the content we publish.


2. Scope of Fact-Checking

Our fact-checking policy applies to all types of content published on Xiaomileaks, including:

  • News articles and breaking updates
  • Product launches and announcements
  • Software updates and changelogs
  • Leaks, rumours, and early reports
  • Market reports and analysis
  • Informational and explanatory articles

3. Verification Process

Before publication, our editorial team follows a structured verification process:

  • Information is cross-checked using multiple reliable sources whenever possible
  • Official announcements are verified through company statements, press releases, or official channels
  • Technical details are validated using benchmark listings, regulatory databases, and trusted industry sources
  • Market data and forecasts are attributed to recognised research firms or analysts

No article is published without a basic level of source verification.


4. Handling of Leaks and Unofficial Information

Leaks and rumours are a common part of technology reporting and are handled with special care.

  • Leak-based information is clearly labelled as unofficial
  • Sources such as benchmarks, certifications, and credible tipsters are referenced where applicable
  • We avoid presenting speculative information as confirmed facts
  • Readers are informed that specifications, pricing, or timelines may change before official release

5. Source Transparency

Xiaomileaks prioritises transparency in sourcing.

  • Official sources and public records are clearly identified
  • Third-party reports, analysts, and research firms are credited appropriately
  • Anonymous sources are avoided unless the information is widely corroborated by other reliable evidence

6. Separation of Facts and Speculation

We clearly distinguish between:

  • Verified facts
  • Company statements or claims
  • Analysis or interpretation
  • Speculation based on leaks or early reports

This distinction helps readers understand what is confirmed and what is subject to change.


7. Corrections and Updates

Despite best efforts, errors can occasionally occur.

  • If an inaccuracy is identified, the content is reviewed and corrected promptly
  • Significant corrections are clearly updated within the article
  • Updated information is added as new details become available

We encourage readers to report potential inaccuracies through our contact page.


8. Use of AI and Automation in Fact-Checking

AI tools may be used to assist with research, grammar checks, and content optimization. However:

  • AI tools do not replace human editorial judgment
  • All factual claims are reviewed by a human editor before publication
  • Final responsibility for accuracy rests with the Xiaomileaks editorial team

9. Editorial Accountability

Our editorial team takes full responsibility for the content published on Xiaomileaks.

  • Articles are reviewed internally before publication
  • Revisions are made when new or corrected information emerges
  • We continuously improve our verification processes based on feedback and evolving standards

10. Updates to This Policy

This Fact-Checking Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in editorial standards, technology reporting practices, or platform guidelines. The most recent version will always be available on this page.
