About ActualNews

The actual god damn news. Unfiltered.

What is ActualNews?

ActualNews is a global news aggregation platform that brings you breaking news from around the world without bias, filtering, or algorithmic manipulation. We aggregate news stories from multiple sources and organize them by topic, allowing you to see all perspectives on major events in one place.

Unlike traditional news sites that show you what they think you should see, ActualNews gives you raw, unfiltered access to trending topics with complete transparency about what's happening globally.

How It Works

Topic Aggregation: We group related news articles from different sources into unified topics. Each topic represents a single event or story, giving you access to multiple perspectives and sources all in one place.

Real-Time Updates: Topics update in real-time as new articles are published. You can follow breaking stories as they develop, with timestamps showing when each topic first appeared and was last updated.

Global Coverage: We track news from regions around the world including the United States, China, Russia, Europe, Middle East, and more. Filter by region to focus on specific areas or view everything globally.

Community Discussion: Each topic has a dedicated discussion page where you can read comments, share perspectives, and engage with others following the same story.

Features

• Time-based filtering (1h, 6h, 24h, 7d)

• Multi-language support with automatic translation
• Real-time updates

Why "Unfiltered"?

Most news platforms use algorithms to decide what you see based on engagement metrics, advertising interests, or editorial bias. This creates filter bubbles where you only see news that aligns with your existing views.

ActualNews shows you what's actually trending globally without manipulation. Our trending algorithm is transparent and based purely on objective metrics: article count, views, comments, and time decay. No hidden agendas.

We believe you should decide what news is important to you, not an algorithm designed to maximize ad revenue.

Our Philosophy

News should be accessible, transparent, and unbiased. Every person deserves access to accurate information from multiple sources without editorial filtering or algorithmic manipulation.

By aggregating news from diverse sources and presenting them in a neutral format, we empower you to form your own opinions based on complete information rather than curated narratives.

Design

Our minimalist, text-focused design is inspired by Hacker News - prioritizing information density, readability, and performance over flashy graphics and distractions. News should be fast, functional, and focused on content.
