The statement 'Bullshit. I am pro-protest and said it. Stop making shit up to divide.' is a response in a series of exchanges on social media that discusses the topic of free speech and criticism of protests. The tone is confrontational and accusatory, aimed at correcting perceived misinformation or misrepresentation of the speaker's stance on protests and free speech. The content directly addresses the issue of how public figures and media personalities discuss and represent protests and free speech, which are significant societal issues.

1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

2. Principle 2:

   I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.

   The statement respects the dignity of others in a broad sense but uses harsh language that could be seen as disrespectful. [-1]
3. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The use of aggressive language does not promote understanding or compassion. [-2]
4. Principle 4:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   The statement engages in dialogue, albeit in a confrontational manner, which is somewhat constructive but overshadowed by its tone.

   I will acknowledge and correct my mistakes.

   There is an attempt to correct what the speaker sees as a mistake or misrepresentation, aligning with this principle. [+1]
6. Principle 6:

   I will use my influence for the betterment of society.

   The influence used here is more divisive than beneficial for societal betterment due to the aggressive tone. [-1]

   I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.

   The statement upholds free speech but does so in a manner that might not be considered responsible or with integrity due to the language used.
