-0.08 One Million Checkboxes on SpacetimeDB (twitter.com)
2 points by kylegill 13 hours ago | 0 comments on HN | MIXED_NEGATIVE: Platform structure enables some UDHR rights (particularly Articles 13-14, 18-19) but systematically violates privacy (Articles 12, 17), due process (Articles 9-10), and property rights (Article 17). The moderate negative mean score reflects this tension between enabling expression while conducting surveillance and maintaining proprietary control over user-generated content.
