This settlement represents legitimate DOJ enforcement against potential algorithmic price-fixing in rental markets. Rule_of_law:3 for antitrust enforcement functioning properly through settlement mechanism. Civil_rights:2 for housing affordability impacts on moderate population. Capture:1 and corruption:1 for corporate algorithmic coordination concerns, though settlement suggests system working. Mechanism modifier 1.15 for judicial_legal_action with federal scope 1.1. A-score 14.88 below List A threshold. B-score 18.59 reflects moderate media interest in 'algorithm villain' narrative and housing crisis angle, but below List B threshold. D-score -3.71 shows slight distraction lean but neither score reaches classification thresholds. This is substantive antitrust enforcement with moderate public interest, not primarily constitutional damage or strategic distraction.
