ANTI-AI ARCHIVE
RESEARCH GUIDE

How can a protest or dispute be checked?

ANTI-AI ARCHIVE · LUOCAO / CHEN HAOHAO

Distinguish open letters, union announcements, platform responses, complaints and judgments, then compare event dates with publication dates. Allegations are not court findings; a policy commitment is not proof of implementation; a platform announcement may not establish when a protest began. Cases connect dated events, documents and original sources while retaining gaps in the record.
