A DSA transparency report must contain specific metrics that show how moderation systems are working.
Required data includes:
Number of illegal content notices received and acted upon.
Average response times for notice handling.
Volume of user appeals and their outcomes.
Number of suspensions or account removals.
Orders from authorities to remove or block content.
Monthly active user numbers (biannually for VLOPs).
