Reporting Illegal Content under the DSA (EU)

This article was last edited on June 9, 2025, by Doctor C 12016.

We are committed to maintaining a safe and lawful digital environment. If you come across content on our platform that you believe is illegal, you can report it to us directly. We review every report carefully and take action in accordance with the legal requirements of the Digital Services Act (DSA).

What qualifies as illegal content?

Illegal content under the DSA may include, for example:

  • Hate speech or incitement to violence (such as racist, homophobic, or extremist remarks)

  • Child sexual abuse material or any form of child pornography

  • Terrorist content or the glorification of terrorist acts

  • Copyright infringement, such as unauthorized sharing or publishing of protected works

  • Fraudulent content, including phishing, fake online shops, or identity theft

  • Offers of illegal goods or services, such as drugs, weapons, or forged documents

  • Data protection violations, such as publishing personal information without consent (commonly known as doxing)

This list is not exhaustive. All applicable national and EU laws apply.

When will content be removed or restricted?

We will only remove or restrict content if:

  • it is found to be illegal following a legal assessment

  • the report is clear, specific, and complete

  • there are no valid objections from the person or organization who published the content

All decisions are based on a thorough legal evaluation, taking into account freedom of expression and in full compliance with the DSA.

How to submit a report

To report illegal content under the DSA (EU Regulation 2022/2065), please contact us at [email protected].

Please include the following information in your report:

  • The direct link (URL) to the content in question

  • A clear and objective explanation of why you believe it is illegal

  • If known: the relevant legal basis (e.g. GDPR, copyright law, criminal law)

  • Your contact details, if you would like to be informed of the outcome

After receiving your report, we will review the content as quickly as possible. You will receive a confirmation of receipt, and where legally required, we will also inform you of the result of the review and any actions taken.

Please note: Incomplete, clearly unfounded, or abusive reports may be rejected.
