| Pro-transparency information platform with strong Article 19 (freedom of information) alignment. Landing page functions as data portal enabling journalism, research, and civic engagement. Primary human rights contribution is information access democratization. Privacy protection (Article 12) negative signal due to unmitigated analytics tracking. Overall mild-to-moderate positive lean on UDHR framework, concentrated in information freedom and labor rights disclosure areas. Landing Page
