Transparency & Architecture

Legal notice

In accordance with applicable legal obligations, you will find below information relating to the publisher, hosting and technical architecture of the SAMT Archive platform.

1. Platform publisher

The SAMT Archive platform is published by the SAMT collective — Soutenir · Archiver · Mobiliser · Transmettre.

SAMT is not a centralized legal entity. It is a decentralized coordination space, a crossroads between different projects, collectives, and initiatives engaged in documenting the repression of critical knowledge and voices for Palestine.

This intentionally non-institutional form reflects our commitment to the operational protection of the individuals involved and structural resistance to external pressures.

2. Hosting & technical architecture

The SAMT Archive platform is built as a full static export (SSG— Static Site Generation) via the Next.js framework. There is no traditional backend server and no persistent central database associated with this public interface.

All pages are pre-generated at build time and distributed via a JAMstack architecture. The platform is hosted in a decentralized manner on IPFS (InterPlanetary File System), a peer-to-peer protocol designed for resilience, permanence, and resistance to censorship.

Structural resistance

Decentralized hosting via IPFS ensures that no single actor can delete or censor access to this archive.

3. Domain name

The domain name samt-project.org is managed via a registrar with enhanced privacy protection. We have deliberately chosen a registrar that does not disclose the registrant's identity information in public WHOIS registries.

4. Intellectual property & licenses

The entire source code of the platform is free and open. The editorial content remains subject to the copyright of its respective contributors.

The aggregated and anonymized data from the documentary database is made available to NGOs, associations, and universities in the spirit of a documentary common good.

5. Limitation of liability

SAMT Archive strives to rigorously verify and source all documented incidents. SAMT Archive declines all responsibility in the event that published information is used for purposes contrary to its documentary intent.
