+0.68 I am a 15-year-old girl: the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media (www.theguardian.com)
15 points by Anthony-G 15 hours ago | 7 comments on HN | Moderate Positive (0.4-0.6) to Strong Positive (0.7+) lean with significant concentration in expression/information rights (Articles 13, 19, 20, 26-28). Privacy concerns (Article 12) and ND scores on civil/political process articles create structural asymmetry. Overall directional lean is strongly toward UDHR alignment in free expression and information access dimensions. Editorial · vv3.4 · 2026-02-24
