Series

Some stories do not end with one article. These are the threads we keep pulling.

A series is simply a set of articles that belong together: the same question followed over months, across countries and courtrooms. Start anywhere, or read a series from the top. Each one keeps growing as new reporting comes in.

Watching the Watchers

How surveillance gear quietly becomes normal. Cameras that read number plates, towers on the border, microphones on lamp posts. Six articles about equipment that arrives first and gets explained later.

Papers, Please

Identity, borders and the right to belong. Who is allowed to move, who is allowed to stay, and how much personal data that permission now costs.

Who Decides What You Can Say

Age gates, filters and the new gatekeepers. Four articles on the rules of online speech and the people quietly writing them.

Held to Account

When courts and researchers catch up. The counterweight to the other three series: cases where someone was actually made to answer.
