Do I need an account to read articles?

No. Anyone can browse and read articles across Siften without signing up. Creating a free account lets you save articles, like them, follow publications, and comment.

How do I save an article for later?

Tap the bookmark icon on any article. If you’re signed in, saved articles sync across your devices and are available under the Saved tab. If you’re signed out, saves are stored on that device only.

How do I follow a publication?

Tap Follow on a publication’s page, or use the Follow option in an article’s menu. Followed publications appear in the Following tab, and you can turn on notifications for new articles.

How do notifications work?

If you allow notifications, we let you know about activity relevant to your account, such as new articles from publications you follow. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings.

What does the coverage/bias bar mean?

On articles about ongoing stories, we show how other outlets are covering the same story across the political spectrum, based on independent media-bias ratings, so you can see multiple perspectives at a glance.

Are articles written by AI?

Some Siften publications use an AI-assisted editorial process. Articles are clearly labelled “AI-generated” or “AI-assisted synthesis” where this applies, and are based on cited public source material.

How do I delete my account?

Email support@siften.com from the address on your account and we’ll delete your account and associated data. We aim to complete deletion requests within 30 days.

How do I report a comment or piece of content?

Email support@siften.com with a link to the article or comment and a brief description of the issue. We review reports and take action, including removing content or restricting accounts, where appropriate.
