This page logs every restriction or moderation action OpenXiv has taken in response to legal demands, third-party complaints, or our own editorial policy. The log is append-only: reversed restrictions are marked as such but not removed from the record.

Detailed log

Each entry will list: date, item id, jurisdiction (if applicable), legal basis cited, action taken, current status.

No entries yet. The log appears here when the first action is recorded.

How we count

Jurisdictional restriction — content stays in our archive; access is blocked from a specific country in response to a binding legal demand. See jurisdictional restrictions for the full process.
Takedown notice received — a third-party copyright or content complaint reached us. We document every notice received, regardless of whether it was honoured.
Takedown honoured — content was removed or restricted in response to a valid notice. The decision is documented per DMCA intake and our takedown policy.
Item removed entirely — content removed from the archive. Only happens for confirmed plagiarism, fraud, or court order. The DOI continues to resolve to a tombstone page citing the removal reason.

Why this page exists

Transparency reports are the standard way academic publishers, journalistic outlets, and knowledge platforms demonstrate that they are not silent censors. Publishing every action keeps the operator accountable to authors, readers, and the public record. The number we want on this page is zero; the alternative we refuse is hidden actions.
