Checks and balances are in section 3 (f), which describes how to file a motion to "modify, suspend or vacate" an order if the site removes the offending content or the order turns out to be in error.

It's not a proper balance unless it has provisions to dissuade those who misuse the process. "Lol our bad" and putting it back up, with no compensation for that downtime or penalty for false accusations doesn't actually do anything.
