Коллектив белорусской индимедии стремится к наиболее полной верификации размещенных новостей. В то же время наша принципиальная позиция такова: главным критерием достоверности любой информации являются ее открытое обсуждение. Ценность любой информации зависит в первую очередь от ее критичного осмысления и результатов публичной дискуссии.

For navigation convenience any news items could be groupped by topics. Помимо общей ленты новостей, отсортированной в хронологическом порядке, ресурс представляет возможность просмотра последних новостей в таких группах. Наличие любой заметки в сводке “горячих” обновлений определяется лишь фактом ее привязки к какой-либо общей теме, и не может трактоваться как присвоение одним сообщениям более высокого “рейтинга”, чем другим.

Белорусская индимедия категорически и в любой форме отвергает политическую либо иную идеологическую цензуру.

В то же время, в целях эффективного противодействия давлению государственных органов и иных авторитарных группировок команда белорусской индимедии вынуждена в особых случаях удалять либо скрывать от просмотра в общей ленте новостей отдельные сообщения.

Список таких случаев строго определен, и содержится в главе 5.
