Attention and Narrative · Current evidence

Public deletion ledgers carry 15 observations from reachable feeds

CDT, GreatFire and FreeWeibo-style RSS/Atom ledgers are ingested only when a feed answers; unreachable ledgers stay named rather than becoming a zero.

What the record says

Observation. The current ledger ingest published 15 public observations.

This report is scoped to public-deletion-ledgers. It does not merge unlike instruments or infer a cause from co-movement.

How it was measured

Keyless RSS/Atom ingest through collectors.feed_parse.parse_feed_items and core.safe_fetch; each feed is a candidate and reports its own reachability.

What this cannot establish

  • A missing ledger file is an abstention, not proof that nothing was deleted. Reachability of a public RSS feed is not a census of Chinese-language deletions.

What this reading does not show

  • A missing ledger file is an abstention, not proof that nothing was deleted. Reachability of a public RSS feed is not a census of Chinese-language deletions.
  • The brief does not assign motive, identify a person, merge unlike denominators, or treat a missing reading as a zero.
  • Keyless RSS/Atom ingest through collectors.feed_parse.parse_feed_items and core.safe_fetch; each feed is a candidate and reports its own reachability.

Counterreadings

  • A current or withheld instrument value is not independent corroboration of any publisher article, and it is not a cause.
  • Co-movement with another live signal on this edition is layer context, not a shared rate or a coordinated action.

Limitations

  • A missing ledger file is an abstention, not proof that nothing was deleted. Reachability of a public RSS feed is not a census of Chinese-language deletions.
  • The companion copies newsroom templates only; it adds no interview, article body, or generative prose.
