Ethics Policy
Effective date: June 5, 2026
This Ethics Policy describes the principles we aim to follow at thetednews.com.
Our principles
We value:
Accuracy – we aim to publish correct and responsible information.
Clarity – technology should be explained in plain language.
Transparency – sponsored or commercial content should be identified where relevant.
Independence – advertisers do not determine our general editorial standards.
Responsibility – we avoid misleading claims, fake tests and fabricated sources.
Reader respect – content should inform, not manipulate or mislead.
What we avoid
We do not knowingly publish:
- fabricated quotes;
- fake sources;
- plagiarized content;
- misleading headlines;
- hidden advertising;
- fake product tests;
- unsupported technical claims;
- harmful cybersecurity instructions;
- exaggerated promises about technology or AI.
Responsible AI coverage
When writing about artificial intelligence, we aim to avoid presenting AI as a perfect or risk-free solution. AI tools may be useful, but they can also make mistakes, raise privacy concerns or produce misleading output.
Responsible cybersecurity coverage
Cybersecurity content is intended to help readers protect themselves. We do not publish material designed to help readers break into systems, steal data, bypass security protections or harm others.
Conflicts of interest
If content has a commercial connection, such as sponsorships, affiliate links or paid partnerships, we aim to disclose that connection where relevant.
