Intellectual property
The articles, summaries, translations and illustrations published here are the work of the publisher. Any public reuse must credit “Aube” and link back to the original page.
Headlines, excerpts and links from the sources we cite remain the property of their respective authors: Aube quotes them, it does not republish them. Reuse conditions for the public API are set out on the Developers page.
Reporting content
An inaccurate article, an unlawful comment, a request for correction or removal: write to the contact address above, stating the exact page address and what is disputed. Requests are handled case by case and, when founded, the correction is public and dated.
Comment moderation
What gets moderated is toxic behaviour — insults, harassment, spam, off-topic posts — never opinions. Doubting an announcement, finding a technology overrated or criticising the journal is a normal use of the comment space.
Every comment goes through two checks before it appears. A word filter first, which turns the message down on the spot. Then a check by an artificial intelligence model, which returns one of three verdicts: publish, refuse, or hesitate.
A “publish” verdict puts the message online straight away. In the other two cases — refusal as well as hesitation — nothing is deleted: the message is held and a person reads it. Its author is told as soon as it is sent, along with the reason it was held.
If the automatic check is unavailable — provider outage, timeout — the comment is published rather than held: moderation watches the conversation, it does not break it. The word filter always applies, since it depends on no outside service.
A moderation decision can be challenged by writing to the contact address above. The review is carried out by a person, never by the machine that issued the first verdict.
Outbound links
Every article links back to its primary sources. Aube exercises no control over the third-party sites it cites and accepts no liability for their content, which may change after publication.
Personal data
How personal data is handled — what is collected, why, for how long, and how to exercise your rights — is covered on a separate page.
