| Mild positive lean with framing-dominant directionality. Article presents technology governance transition positively through independent stewardship and open governance framing. Limited explicit human rights focus. Privacy-related structural signals (tracking/analytics) create modest negative tension. Overall assessment: technology journalism demonstrating awareness of democratic governance principles without comprehensive human rights analysis. Editorial
