Every year, the Board for Digital Services and the European Commission publish a report on the landscape of prominent and recurrent risks on very large online platforms (VLOPs) and search engines (VLOSEs) in the European Union.
The report identifies systemic risks – such as the spread of illegal content or threats to fundamental rights – occurring on very large online platforms. It also gives an overview of the mitigation measures taken by platforms to counter identified risks.
The report provides a reference point for understanding systemic risks in the EU stemming from VLOPs and VLOSEs. It constitutes a key tool for transparency and accountability ultimately contributing to a safer and more trustworthy online environment.
This second annual report on systemic risks and mitigation measures highlighted risks to children and young people online and how the DSA is building an effective long-term approach to combatting such risks.
