Ethics

Powerful analysis demands strict guardrails.

Signal intelligence can be misused. These are the lines HSI does not cross — and how we hold ourselves accountable.

Public, not private

We analyze public narratives and patterns — never private communications or individuals.

No targeting of people

We do not build profiles of, dox, or facilitate harassment of any individual.

No amplification of harm

We never republish harmful content in ways that extend its reach.

Proportionality

Our response is calibrated to genuine public-interest risk, not engagement.

No political instrumentation

HSI is not a tool for any party, campaign, or government to silence opponents.

Humanity above all

When in doubt, we err on the side of human dignity and the public good.

Accountability

An independent ethics review board evaluates contested findings and policy decisions. Anyone can challenge a published conclusion, and we commit to responding transparently — including issuing public corrections when we are wrong.
