Editorial & takedown policy

fxcn's core commitment is "transparent and auditable". Any subject we cover has a formal channel to dispute, and any error is logged, responded to, and (where warranted) corrected.

Non-Chinese versions of this page are machine translations for reference only; the Chinese version prevails in case of any discrepancy.

1. How we flag a broker or entity

Every score, blacklist entry, and history event on fxcn requires at least two independent public sources before publication. We archive each piece of original evidence (URL + SHA256 hash + timestamp) for audit.

  • Primary regulator notices (FCA / ASIC / NFA / CySEC / MAS, etc.)
  • Major financial media (Reuters / Bloomberg / FT / AFR / Caixin, etc.)
  • Listed company filings / annual reports
  • Court ruling public records

2. We never accept

  • Broker pay-for-rank — No amount will alter scores
  • Paid review deletion — Reviews are removed only for ToS violations, never for payment
  • IB rebates — We have no IB program and no commercial relationship with any broker

3. Takedown process

  1. Submit — At /legal/takedown fill in the form. The system instantly generates a reference number (TD-YYYY-XXXX) and sends an acknowledgement email.
  2. Review — Our editorial team reviews within 14 days, verifying against public sources. The disputed content **remains visible** during review but is flagged "Under review" for audit transparency.
  3. Decision — We respond in writing by email: accepted (correction / removal) / rejected (with reasons) / partial (e.g. marked as "outdated").
  4. Audit record — Every takedown and every decision is permanently logged and accessible to legal, regulatory and academic researchers.

4. Data retention

Even after content is "removed", the underlying evidence (regulator pages / notices / reports) and takedown records are retained for 7 years for:

  • Legal, regulatory, and judicial investigations
  • Historical news auditability (preventing "fact laundering")
  • Academic research

5. False claims will be referred

Submitting a false takedown (knowing the content is accurate but claiming otherwise to obtain removal) may be referred to the relevant jurisdiction's regulator or legal counsel and may constitute fraud or obstruction. We log every takedown's IP, user-agent, submission time, and claimant identity.

6. Contact

For formal takedowns please use /legal/takedown.

Other legal matters (jurisdictional correspondence / regulatory cooperation / academic collaboration): [email protected]
