    The European Digital Services Act(DSA) makes provision for trusted flaggers in each EU member state to report suspected illegal content to online platforms.

    Trusted flaggers are organizations recognized for their expertise in the detection, identification and notification of unlawful content in one or more specific areas.

    They are designated by the digital services coordinator of the member state in which they are located, i.e. Arcom in France. To this end, it checks that candidates for the status meet the RSN's criteria of expertise, independence from platforms, and diligence, objectivity and accuracy in their reporting activities.

    The action of trusted flaggers

    Once designated, trusted flaggers benefit from priority treatment of their reports by all online platforms subject to the RSN.

    If the online platform agrees with the trusted flagger's analysis, it is obliged to revoke or disable access to the allegedly unlawful content reported.

    Trusted flaggers can report content to all platforms used in France, regardless of where the platform is based (in France or elsewhere).

    Every year, trusted flaggers must submit a report on their flagging activity to their coordinator, and make it public.

    More information on the system and how to apply for this status on this page.
