What is a DSA transparency report?
Questions & Answer
A DSA transparency report is a publicly available document that online platforms must publish at least once a year.
It sets out how the platform has enforced its terms and community rules, and how it has responded to illegal content notices, appeals, and official takedown requests.
The aim is to give regulators, researchers, and users visibility into the scale and fairness of content moderation. For example, a platform must disclose how many pieces of content were removed, how many appeals were filed, how quickly moderators responded, and how many actions were overturned.
For Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Very Large Online Search Engines (VLOSEs), transparency reports are even more detailed and must include systemic risk mitigation and independent audit findings.
