Terms of Use

Last updated: September 2026

ExtremismLedger is an independent, citation-backed public-interest publisher and research project documenting extremism, anti-democratic conduct, serious constitutional and rule-of-law abuses, election interference or subversion, and subversion or attempted subversion of American constitutional democratic-republic norms. It is not a government, law-enforcement, or commercial directory service. By using this site, you agree to the terms below.

1. Nature of the site

ExtremismLedger publishes informational content — profiles of organizations, individuals, and incidents, together with sourced claims and citations — compiled and reviewed for public-interest research and journalism purposes. Content reflects editorial judgment applied under a published editorial framework and is not legal advice, a background-check product, or an official record of any government body. Inclusion of a subject is an editorial, public-interest determination; it is not, by itself, a declaration that a person or group is criminal, extremist, unconstitutional, or anti-democratic as a whole. In publishing this content, ExtremismLedger exercises speech, press, research, commentary, and publication rights protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, subject to applicable law. Published records are presumptively permanent and are corrected, clarified, annotated, or updated rather than removed, except in the limited circumstances described in our Legal & Editorial Disclaimer.

2. Site availability and changes

ExtremismLedger is a living public-interest database. Features, functionality, page layout, and the underlying dataset may be added, modified, corrected, or removed as the site develops and as new verified information becomes available.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or continuous availability of the site or any specific feature. The service may be suspended or modified for maintenance, security, technical, or editorial reasons.

3. No guarantee of completeness or availability

The site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no guarantee that any page, dataset, or feature will be complete, uninterrupted, secure, or free of errors. Published material is reviewed under our editorial process before publication, but information may later be corrected, updated, or removed as described in our Legal & Editorial Disclaimer.

4. Lawful use

You agree to use this site only for lawful purposes. You may not:

• use the site to harass, threaten, stalk, or facilitate violence against any individual, including individuals whose profiles appear on this site;
• attempt to circumvent access controls, rate limits, or security measures, or to scrape, harvest, or bulk-extract data except as expressly permitted;
• submit false, misleading, or bad-faith reports through the public submission form;
• use the site in any way that violates applicable local, state, national, or international law.

5. Intellectual property

Original text, editorial curation, and database compilation on this site are the property of ExtremismLedger or its contributors, except where a specific source excerpt is separately attributed and used under fair use or with permission for citation purposes. Quoted or excerpted material from third-party sources remains the property of its respective owners; we cite and link to original sources rather than reproducing their content in full. If you believe material on this site infringes your intellectual-property rights, contact us using the process described in our Legal & Editorial Disclaimer.

6. External links and third-party sources

This site links to and cites third-party sources — news reporting, court records, government filings, and similar material. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the content, accuracy, or availability of external sites. A citation or link to a third-party source does not constitute our endorsement of that source's other content, and a source's continued availability is not guaranteed (see our archival practices in the Legal & Editorial Disclaimer).

7. Disclaimer of warranties; limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the site and its content are provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ExtremismLedger and its contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site or reliance on its content. Nothing in this section is intended to limit liability for fraud or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.

8. Changes to these terms

We may revise these Terms of Use from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a revision constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

9. Contact

Questions about these terms, or requests related to content on the site, can be submitted through the report form or by the contact process described in our Legal & Editorial Disclaimer.
