This data exists only because of the DSA

Every figure on this page comes from disclosures the EU forces very large platforms to publish. No other jurisdiction mandates them, which is why numbers like these simply don’t exist for the US or anywhere else.

  • Art. 24(2)Monthly active users, published twice a year
  • Art. 15 + 42Content-moderation transparency reports
  • Art. 39Public, searchable ad repositories
  • Art. 40Data access for vetted researchers
