Hopefully ones requiring this kind of transparency regarding moderation actions on platforms of sufficiently large size. A lot of concerns about bias would go away if platforms had to give proper reasoning/justification for moderation actions in more definite terms than the vague statements we're used to. It might be a bit much to expect that for every moderation action, so maybe something that balances the required detail against the visibility of the action.
For example, banning spambots should basically only need overall statistics on the bans, whereas bans/suspensions of news or public figures should require detailed insight into what happened. As a side effect it might force platforms to have some insight into automated bans instead of relying on people managing to stir up enough of a ruckus on another platform to get in touch with a human.
