  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech, but it does make a serious accusation without providing evidence in the tweet itself, which could be seen as disrespectful to the dignity of the accused. [-1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. Instead, it takes a confrontational tone that could polarize opinions further. [-1]
  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.

  5. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    The statement uses influence to call for accountability, which can be seen as an attempt to better society by holding leaders responsible. However, the accusatory tone without evidence could undermine this goal. [+1]
  6. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement upholds the principle of free speech but could be seen as using the platform irresponsibly by making serious accusations without evidence in the tweet itself.
