How these numbers are produced
A listing is created when someone files a report with evidence. It starts as under review. It becomes confirmed only after the evidence is checked against the criteria set out in our methodology. Operations that turn out to be wrongly reported are removed and are not counted here.
Counts are aggregates only. No reporter identities, contact details or evidence files are exposed on this page or in the exports below. Anyone listed can contest their entry through our appeals process.
GACS takes no payment for a listing, no payment for removal, and carries no advertising.
