- Where a response is a general denial without engagement with specific claims, it will still be published, in full.

- Bare legal threats unaccompanied by a substantive factual response.
- Requests to remove material on the basis of POPIA or copyright that are not, on their face, valid. The site relies on the public-interest journalistic exemption under POPIA section 7 and on the Bogoshi standard for reasonable publication of public-interest material.
