+0.04 Anthropic misanthropic toward China's AI labs (www.theregister.com)
3 points by abdelhousni 6 hours ago | 2 comments on HN | Technology news article with moderate positive lean on information freedom (Art. 19) and intellectual participation (Art. 27), offset by concerns on privacy (Art. 12) and IP protection (Art. 17). Advocacy-driven reporting supports transparency and accountability. Core signal driven by editorial coverage quality and structural accessibility; constrained by ad-tracking infrastructure.
