| Mild positive – Editorial and structural signals concentrate on individual digital autonomy, privacy protection, informed choice, and rejection of exploitative technology practices. Content supports Articles 12, 13, 19, 27 most strongly. Limited scope (consumer product review) prevents broader UDHR coverage. No negative signals observed; conservatively regressed toward zero where signals were ambiguous or context-dependent. Editorial
