PR Review: Update ATO detection note for EU region accounts

Summary

This PR makes a small but important clarification to the Account Abuse Protection documentation. It corrects the product terminology from Regional Services to Customer Metadata Boundary and provides a more technically accurate explanation of why ATO detections are unavailable for accounts with the EU metadata boundary.

Analysis

Accuracy: The change is technically correct. Customer Metadata Boundary (not Regional Services) is the product that controls where customer logs and metadata are processed. The updated explanation accurately describes that ATO detections rely on Cloudflare's central detection pipeline, which requires log analysis outside the EU boundary.

Links: The new link /data-localization/metadata-boundary/ resolves correctly.

Style: The note follows MDX syntax rules. The acronym "ATO" is properly defined on first use in the note context.

Implicit fix: The old text incorrectly referred to "General Data Protection (GDPR)" — this PR removes that inaccuracy entirely, which is an improvement.

Labels

The existing labels (product:bots, size/xs) are appropriate. No additional labels needed.

Checklist

For a clarification of this size, no changelog entry or redirects are required. The unchecked checklist items are acceptable.

Verdict

Approve. Clean, accurate docs update with correct product terminology.

I've completed the review of PR #31397.

Summary of changes:
The PR updates a single note in src/content/docs/bots/account-abuse-protection.mdx to correct the product terminology from "Regional Services" to "Customer Metadata Boundary" and clarifies the technical reason why ATO detections are unavailable for EU-boundary accounts.

Review posted:

• Verdict: Approved
• Labels: Existing product:bots and size/xs labels are appropriate; no changes needed

Key findings:

• The terminology change is technically accurate — Customer Metadata Boundary is the correct product for controlling log/metadata processing location
• The new link /data-localization/metadata-boundary/ resolves correctly
• The updated explanation is more precise than the old one
• The old text incorrectly cited "General Data Protection (GDPR)" (missing "Regulation"), which this PR implicitly fixes by removing the inaccurate reference
• No changelog or redirects are needed for a clarification of this scope

No issues requiring maintainer attention were identified.
