Court and agency docket
Named proceedings that were public as of 15 August 2026 — cases in court, regulator files that can go to court, and statutes that would create new takedown powers. This is not a live court feed. Each card shows the last public date we have.
No named public court, regulator, or legislative file involving X was compiled for North Korea as of 15 August 2026. That does not mean no one has ever asked for a takedown — only that there is no published proceeding we can put on this docket. Individual withholdings can still appear as an in-country notice.
Allowed and not allowed
What public sources currently show — not a live feed of every withheld post. Individual jurisdiction withholdings still only appear as a notice when opened from that country.
