| Mixed positive-negative lean. Editorial content advocates AI safeguards and free expression on rights-relevant topics (Articles 19-20, 28), creating moderate positive signals. Structural domain implements extensive privacy-invasive tracking (Article 12: -0.40) and content moderation restrictions (Articles 4-5), creating moderate negative counterweight. Overall score near zero reflects platform's dual nature: enabling speech while surveilling users. Editorial
