The ability for this RSS aggregator to perform a quick MD5 (or greater) hash against each feed item and perform consistency checks through multiple interfaces (or perhaps TOR as a secondary) would be a welcome solution to the internet community that would aid in the ability to quickly uncover and identify the censorship of news sites - in real time. The MD5 (or greater) hash comparison on feed elements would be important in the event different content was presented from different locations (think an ISP level solution like the FireFox add-on called FoxReplace). Having the ability to perform all of the above with your RSS aggregator also supporting an RSS feeds that relies on HTTPS (inclusive of TLS 1.1 and 1.2) would be the absolute best of all worlds.

This functionality, requested in your RSS aggregator, may become a bit more important in the coming years.

Thank you for considering this as a feature request. Please note, I am unaware of the core essence of this feature request in any RSS product at this time.
