Sources we follow
Newspapers, broadcasters, regulators, central banks and crypto media in the five countries. We read RSS feeds, public list pages (only links and page metadata) and a news search limited to each country's domains. We respect robots.txt, identify ourselves with our own user agent, wait at least 2 seconds between requests to the same site, and never fetch article text behind a paywall. If a site blocks us, we leave it.
