EU regulation 2019/1150 would seem to be the first real attempt I'm aware of at addressing this issue.
Article 4 covers suspension and termination, with intermediary platforms (i.e. Google, Facebook et al) "the opportunity to clarify the facts and circumstances in the framework of the internal complaint-handling process referred to in Article 11".
It also introduces a requirement to provide "a reference to the specific facts or circumstances, including contents of third party notifications, that led to the decision of the provider of online intermediation services, as well as a reference to the applicable grounds for that decision".
It seems these automated processes fall foul of several hurdles in Article 4.
As a patriotic redblooded 'murican it really upsets me that I have to rely on the EU to police big-tech and fight for civil liberties.
