Welcome to The Armchair Journal. These Terms of Use apply when you visit our website, read our articles, use our reading tools, or create an account. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using it.
Reading and sharing
You may read the site for personal use and share links to its pages. You may quote short excerpts with clear attribution and a link to the original page, subject to applicable law. The articles, design, data, and readings on the site belong to The Armchair Journal or their respective rights holders. These terms do not transfer ownership or grant a licence to republish our material.
Automated collection and model use
Without our prior written permission, you may not use bots, scrapers, crawlers, scripts, or similar tools to collect site content or data at scale; download articles, readings, or other site data in bulk; build a substitute archive or service from that material; or use the site's articles, readings, scores, labels, or other output to train, fine-tune, test, benchmark, or evaluate an artificial intelligence or machine learning model. This restriction applies whether the material is collected directly from the site or through an API. Search engines may crawl the site in accordance with our published robots.txt instructions. Nothing in this section limits rights that cannot lawfully be restricted.
Accounts
New accounts are created through Google sign-in. Existing accounts that have passwords may continue to use password sign-in. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your sign-in credentials secure. Please contact us at [email protected] if you believe someone else has accessed your account.
Reading tools
The site's bias readings describe patterns in the language of a piece. They do not determine an author's beliefs or intentions and should not be treated as a verdict on a person. Readings are provided for information and discussion. You should read the underlying work and make your own judgment.
Acceptable use
Do not interfere with the site's operation, bypass access controls or rate limits, attempt to access another person's account or private information, or use the site in a way that violates applicable law or another person's rights. We may restrict access or suspend an account when reasonably necessary to protect the site or its users.
Third-party services and links
The site may link to third-party pages and use third-party sign-in services. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for their content or operation.
Availability and changes
We may correct, update, or remove content and change site features. We may also revise these terms. The current version and its effective date will appear on this page. Continued use after revised terms take effect means you accept them, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
