'overview' => __( 'Watchlists and flags turn names, identifiers, behaviors, or weak signals into durable records that can follow a person across systems.', 'two-identities-anonymous' ),
'why' => __( 'It matters because a flag can shape access, attention, service, investigation, moderation, or employment long after the original context is gone.', 'two-identities-anonymous' ),
'works' => __( 'Institutions create flags from reports, matches, referrals, alerts, case notes, risk scores, policy categories, or copied data from another system.', 'two-identities-anonymous' ),

'title' => __( 'Corrections, Appeals, And Right Of Reply', 'two-identities-anonymous' ),
'overview' => __( 'Correction systems turn credibility into a workflow: identify the claim, evaluate the source, repair the record, and show what changed.', 'two-identities-anonymous' ),
'why' => __( 'It matters because institutional errors travel through files, feeds, and decisions faster than ordinary people can repair them.', 'two-identities-anonymous' ),
