| Repository page exhibits MILD POSITIVE lean (+0.44) with strong structural support for information freedom (Art. 19: +0.89) and scientific participation (Art. 27: +0.80) offset by privacy concerns (Art. 12: -0.41) from behavioral tracking. GitHub's open-source platform design provides systematic support across 28 UDHR sections, primarily through elimination of access barriers. Accessibility infrastructure and property rights protections are notably strong. Primary negative signal: Octolytics and analytics collection without prominent user consent. Overall signal: GitHub repositories structurally enable UDHR rights while privacy practices introduce moderate countervailing pressures. Landing Page
