This briefing uses free public RSS, Atom and open JSON feeds only. We show the headline and the short excerpt the publisher makes available in the feed, then link to the original. We do not fetch paywalled article bodies, bypass logins, or scrape private content.
Lean labels are approximate editorial buckets used only to keep the mix balanced. A story is picked from a center or wire source first when several outlets cover the same event.
Duplicate headlines are clustered. Summaries are shortened from the publisher's excerpt. When Cloudflare Workers AI credentials are available, up to 18 summaries per day are rewritten with a strict wire-service prompt and rejected if they contain loaded language; the deterministic excerpt is used as the fallback.
Platforms without a free official feed — including X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn — are not scraped, paywall-circumvented or accessed with unauthorised tokens.
No images, no ads, no tracking pixels and no personalised ranking. The digest is rebuilt daily at 06:00 UTC and cached in Firestore; the page refreshes a stale digest in the background.
