PLATFORM AUTOMATION · EU

Amazon: automation declarations in DSA data.

The monitor turns published statements of reasons from the DSA Transparency Database into comparable monthly values: from detection through the automation level of a decision to the reported restriction.

THE CRUCIAL BOUNDARY

Automated does not necessarily mean AI.

The DSA data reports whether detection or a decision was automated. It does not name the specific technical method or reliably establish the use of artificial intelligence. This monitor therefore describes automation declarations—not AI use, moderation quality or legal compliance.

automation declaration ≠ AI evidence · volume ≠ quality

From detection signal to reported restriction

Choose a platform and month. Connection width follows its published volume. Select a connection for the exact value. Restrictions can overlap and are therefore not added into a misleading total.

Restrictions can overlap. The right-hand stage therefore uses its own scale and is not an additive continuation of the left-hand stages.

Clearly explained

Does “automated” prove that a platform used AI?
No. The DSA Transparency Database contains automation declarations, but no reliable technical description of the method used. The monitor therefore deliberately refers to platform automation, not AI moderation.
Do statement counts equal the number of moderated items?
No. The unit is published statements of reasons. It is neither a reliable count of unique content nor a count of affected accounts or people.
Why can reported restrictions add up to more than the total?
A statement can mark several restrictions. Removal, disabling, demotion or interaction limits must therefore not be added to infer a new total.
Can I filter German platform values?
Not from this simplified monthly aggregate. It contains no territorial dimension. The monitor therefore reports EU-wide publications by platform and does not invent German subsets.
