+0.02 Hetzner: Statement on price adjustment as of April first 2026 (www.hetzner.com)
3 points by tosh 13 hours ago | 3 comments on HN | Neutral/Minimal Signal — Commercial pricing announcement with limited UDHR engagement. Structural signals slightly positive (access, work awareness). Privacy concerns (-0.255 on Article 12) offset by expression/information freedom (+0.125 on Article 19). No editorial advocacy for or against human rights frameworks. Content domain-appropriate but substantively silent on UDHR alignment. Editorial · vv3.4 · 2026-02-24
