Rationale for entity selection

All four entities had 1–2 stances before this run and are AI/fintech companies with significant recent news. The Hugging Face antitrust stance covers a topic not previously filed for that company (existing entries: open_source, ai_ethics). The Character.AI stance updates the 2024 lawsuit filing (id 1257) with the January 2026 settlement outcome.

URLs were confirmed as real and content-accurate via the WebSearch MCP tool, which retrieved article content from each source. No URLs were invented.
