Coverage is gathered by UnGovr's news tracker from publisher feeds, and a story is kept only when its subject is a development in AI, scraping, privacy, cybersecurity, communications, content-moderation, product-liability, digital-accessibility, digital-identity, cloud-service, export-control, age-gating, or reuse law, or a framework LexLint tracks moving: a new version or draft, a withdrawal, or a rule that requires it. On cybersecurity that means the legal duty: a reporting deadline moving, a disclosure tested against one, a suit over what a company said about its security. A breach, a vulnerability or a patch is not itself a development in the law, so incident coverage is left off this page. Every story links to its publisher and the headline is theirs, each story on a law resolved to the jurisdiction it concerns and to LexLint's own note on the instrument where there is one. A story naming a jurisdiction LexLint cannot resolve is left off this page rather than attributed to a guess. Coverage is not a finding: a story here is journalism, not a lint result.
A story can still start a check. When one reports a law moving, a lawsuit or court ruling, or a regulator acting, LexLint queues a fresh review of that jurisdiction's law. The law library changes only when an official source confirms the change: the legislature, the gazette, the regulator or the court itself. A story is a lead, never the citation.
