Our Mission

Bring Back Dialup celebrates digital nostalgia, vintage tech, and pop-culture memories while helping readers understand why those moments still matter today. We aim to inform, entertain, and spark genuine curiosity without distortion or hype.

Accuracy and Sourcing

• Every fact is verified against at least two reputable sources such as archival newspapers, academic journals, corporate filings, or first-party interviews.

• Direct quotes are presented in full context.

• Statistics include the original publication date and the entity that produced the data.

• We add a citation link near the first mention of any claim that is not common knowledge.

Corrections Policy

Mistakes happen; when they do, we fix them quickly.

1. Minor typos are corrected on the spot.

2. Substantive errors receive an editor’s note at the end of the article that states what changed and when.

3. Readers can report issues by emailing colby@bringbackdialup.com. We reply within two business days.

Originality Guarantee

All content is drafted or rewritten by a human editor. AI tools may support brainstorming or outline generation, but no passage is published without a full human review for style and accuracy. We scan every article with plagiarism-detection software before publication.

Attribution and Bylines

• Each article shows the author’s name, photo, and brief bio.

• Guest contributors must disclose relevant affiliations.

• Editors who substantially rewrite or update a piece are credited in the “Last updated” stamp.

Last Updated Stamp

We display the date of the most recent significant edit. Google’s ‘dateModified’ field in our schema mirrors that same timestamp, so readers and search engines see the identical update information.

Editorial Independence

Our writers and editors operate independently from our revenue and business teams. No advertiser or sponsor reviews copy before publication. If a sponsor has supplied material or dictated coverage, we mark the piece “Sponsored” at the top.

Monetization and Link Policy

• Bring Back Dialup currently has no affiliate partnerships. If that changes, any outbound link that earns us a commission will carry ‘rel=”sponsored” and an in-article disclosure.

• External links point only to authoritative, reader-helpful pages.

• Creative Commons images include a working license link or a self-hosted copy of the license text.

Diversity and Inclusion

Nostalgia belongs to everyone. We strive to feature voices, references, and imagery that reflect a broad range of cultures, genders, and backgrounds. We avoid stereotypes and dated language, especially in historical captions.
