What TrustOps means here

TrustOps is the review and response process Qubicweb uses for fraud signals, public guidance, and trust-related updates.

Last updated: January 29, 2026

Moderation ladder

Public guidance requires named review, approval, and redaction records. A report cannot skip directly to a public allegation.

  1. Step 1

    Submitted

    Report enters the system with context metadata only. No public visibility.

  2. Step 2

    Under review

    TrustOps validates legitimacy, removes sensitive details, and requests clarification if needed.

  3. Step 3

    Corroborated

    Signals match existing patterns or are backed by independent evidence. Still private.

  4. Step 4

    Published advisory

    Insights become sanitised advisories (patterns, bundles, map density). Identifiers only surface if cleared.

  5. Step 5

    Archived

    Signals age out of public dashboards but remain in sealed audit logs for regulators.

Data handling & safe sharing

Data intake

  • Reports can be anonymous. Context like page title, source, or referral helps triage but is optional.
  • Incident facts, identifiers, and evidence are kept private from public pages. Access is limited to authorised review work.
  • Evidence upload is available only when its security controls are operating. If it is unavailable, submit a text-only report and keep the original file safe.

What we never publish

  • Raw user submissions or screenshots.
  • Personally identifiable information (emails, phone numbers, addresses) unless explicitly approved and legally safe.
  • Unverified allegations, even if multiple people submit similar claims.

How sharing works

  • Reviewed signals may inform Fraud Patterns and Safety Playbooks. Raw reports do not become public content.
  • External disclosure is never automatic. It needs a lawful basis, authorised approval, and an auditable record.
  • A public label such as Reviewed or Increasing is shown only when its supporting review or time-based evidence is available.

Operating principles

These principles guide every review decision and remain available for audit and assurance checks.

  • Attribution-first: cite sources, describe tactics, never sensationalise.
  • Clarity over rumours: no crowdsourced naming-and-shaming; every claim requires verification.
  • Safety over virality: TrustOps curates what appears publicly. Community replies stay gated.
  • Privacy by default: personal data is minimised, redacted, or withheld entirely.
