New: Cross-Platform EU DSA Transparency Dashboard for VLOPs
I've published an interactive dashboard covering H2 2025 EU Digital Services Act transparency reports across Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Very Large Online Search Engines (VLOSEs).
The dashboard combines data from 30 services — including Google (6 products), X, TikTok, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Pinterest, AliExpress, Amazon, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Booking.com, SHEIN, Temu, Zalando, Wikimedia (6 services), and others — into a single cross-platform view. It covers the four main DSA reporting categories: Notices, Own-initiative actions (illegal content and policy violations shown separately), Government Orders, and Appeals. Filter by platform, service, content category, and keyword. All data processes in your browser.
The H2 2025 reports are the first to follow the Commission's harmonized reporting template in full, including precision and recall indicators for automated detection tools. That makes this the most comparable cross-platform DSA dataset published to date — with important caveats about what cross-platform comparisons can and can't support. A follow-up post covers the limitations in detail.
