## Required

- [Take notices about illegal content and answer each one](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/compliance/online-platforms/notice-and-action): If you host content for users, offer an electronic form to report illegal content. Confirm each report, decide on it, and give the affected user a statement of reasons.
- [Check traders before they sell on your marketplace](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/compliance/online-platforms/trader-traceability): If consumers buy from traders on your platform, collect and check five items about each trader before they can sell. Show the trader's contact details on every offer.

## Recommended

- [Decide which Digital Services Act tier you are in](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/compliance/online-platforms/dsa-tier): Record whether your service is an intermediary, a hosting service, an online platform or a marketplace under the Digital Services Act. Record whether the small enterprise exclusions apply.
- [Handle appeals and send decisions to the EU database](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/compliance/online-platforms/platform-complaints): If you run an online platform and are not a micro or small enterprise, let users appeal moderation decisions for at least six months. Send every statement of reasons to the Commission's database.
- [Publish a yearly moderation report](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/compliance/online-platforms/moderation-report): Unless you are a micro or small enterprise, publish a content moderation report for each calendar year by the end of February. Build it from your moderation records.
