ConductAtlas User-Protection Index

Consumer tier · provisional until more dimensions are known
How is this scored? →
Baseline 14.4 here · corpus average 31.4 across 191 scored platforms Bottom quartile Q1 18.4 · median 30.8 · Q3 42.3

Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Meta’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.
