for auditors

transparency sufﬁcient

Demands for other forms of “primary source” transparency are increasing.
An important recent proposal from the French government, for example, calls
for
to review speciﬁc takedown
decisions.31 Similarly, proposed amendments to the German Network
Enforcement Law (Netzwerkdurschsetzungsgesetz, or NetzDG) – discussed
in further detail in the section titled “Public Filings and Other Government
Disclosures” – also call for the auditing of content moderation practices and
the creation of a public “clearing house” to adjudicate user complaints about
wrongful removals (German Parliament 2018). Such independent oversight
mechanisms, if they proved operationally and economically feasible, might
also allow more detailed third-party research into the substance of content-
moderation decisions.
