Research notes

  • published_on taken from the page's schema.org datePublished (2022-08-23T12:00:27+00:00). The page is an evergreen explainer that has been revised since; its dateModified is 2026-04-08, so the content read today may differ from the 2022 text.
  • Used here as evidence of absence: the page documents the seizure and says nothing about a return.
  • The coincidence of the publication date with the accessed_on date is genuine - the page was published 2022-08-23 and accessed 2026-08-23.
