How it works and privacy
World Fresh News reads public feeds (RSS) from outlets around the world every quarter of an hour and makes them available in English and Italian.
Where the news comes from
For each item the site keeps only the headline, the short feed summary, the date and the address of the original article, which it always links to. Full articles stay on the outlets' sites.
What the machine does
Headlines are translated automatically. A program running on our server spots identical items, groups them into stories and assigns topics, places and people. For stories followed by several outlets a language model (Groq) writes the title, summary and outlet comparison from headlines and summaries only. Stable roles and links come from Wikidata, places from GeoNames, borders from Natural Earth.
Everything is automatic and may contain errors: the source text prevails.
Privacy
The site sets no cookies of its own, no profiling cookies, and asks for no personal data. Visit statistics are anonymous and aggregated (Umami, self-hosted, cookieless). Searches are counted in aggregate, without IP addresses. Fonts, libraries and maps are served by the site itself: no third-party service receives your visits.
Cookies
The site sets no cookies of its own: no profiling, advertising or tracking cookies. Visit statistics (Umami) work without cookies and do not identify visitors. That is why no consent is requested.
Closing the notice at the bottom of the page and the countries chosen in the «Outlets from» strip are remembered only in your browser (local storage): they are not cookies and are never sent to the site.
