AgoraLens Ethics Statement

This platform is designed for analysis of public political communication, not for judgment, enforcement, or attribution of intent.

The platform focuses on public statements made by public figures in their professional or political capacity.

Analysis is conducted in the interest of research, journalism, and democratic accountability.

AI outputs are summaries, categorizations, and pattern descriptions.

AgoraLens analyzes only publicly available, on-record content from public accounts.

We do not access:

• •private messages,
• •protected or closed accounts,
• •deleted or non-public content,
• •personal data beyond what is publicly visible.

Our analysis is limited to content that individuals have chosen to publish in public forums.

AgoraLens does not infer or assign:

• •personal beliefs,
• •motivations,
• •intentions,
• •moral character,
• •or political alignment.

All metrics describe observable features of public language and audience response, not the internal states of individuals.

All outputs produced by AgoraLens are analytical indicators.

They are:

• •probabilistic,
• •contextual,
• •and subject to uncertainty.

Indicators are designed to support human interpretation, not replace it. Trends over time are emphasized over individual data points.

Low-data safeguards

In contexts where public reply volumes are limited, AgoraLens may classify audience reaction indicators as preliminary or unavailable.

These cases are explicitly marked to prevent over-interpretation of sparse data.

We aim to make our analytical approach understandable and reviewable.

To support this:

• •metric definitions are documented,
• •weighting and thresholding principles are described at a high level,
• •significant methodological changes are disclosed.

Users are encouraged to interpret results alongside original public content and external context.

AgoraLens is a decision-support tool, not an autonomous decision-maker.

Interpretation, reporting, and use of results remain the responsibility of:

• •journalists,
• •researchers,
• •analysts,
• •and organizations using the platform.

We encourage users to apply professional judgment and domain expertise when drawing conclusions.

Language analysis systems can reflect cultural, contextual, and data-driven biases.

To mitigate this:

• •metrics are reviewed and refined over time,
• •emphasis is placed on trends rather than single outputs,
• •feedback from academic and professional communities is incorporated where possible.

No automated system can fully capture irony, satire, or evolving political language.

If a data subject believes that content displayed on this platform contains exceptionally sensitive information that should not be retained for analytical purposes, they may submit a request for review.

Such requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, balancing public interest, freedom of expression, and potential harm.

Users may not use the platform to:

• •harass or target individuals,
• •misrepresent deleted content as current statements,
• •infer intent behind deletions,
• •republish content out of context,
• •create rankings or accusations based on deletions alone.

We reserve the right to restrict use cases that conflict with these principles.

We take ethical considerations seriously and view them as an ongoing responsibility. Questions or concerns regarding methodology or ethical use can be directed to contact@agoralens.com.
