Applies when

The project it has users in the EU.

How to do it

Article 15 lists what the report holds. It counts orders from authorities, notices by type of content, your own moderation, complaints and the use of automated tools. It gives median times to act on orders and notices. Online platforms add out-of-court disputes and suspensions, under Article 24(1). They also publish their average monthly active users in the EU every six months, under Article 24(2). Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2835 sets the templates and the reporting year. Publish the report as CSV in that template, within two months of the year's end. Generate the counts with the same jobs that collect evidence automatically. Put the due dates in Keep every legal date in one calendar.

Examples

Using these examples: they show one way to follow this rule. Keep the behaviour and the check, not the syntax. Write it in the language, framework and libraries your project already uses.

JavaScript example

export const reportProblems = (report, databaseNoticeCount) =>
  report.totalNotices === databaseNoticeCount
    ? []
    : [`report counts ${report.totalNotices} notices, database counts ${databaseNoticeCount}`];

Python example

def report_problems(report: dict, database_notice_count: int) -> list[str]:
    if report["total_notices"] == database_notice_count:
        return []
    return [f"report counts {report['total_notices']} notices, database counts {database_notice_count}"]

How to check

The report for the last full year is public as CSV by 28 February. Its total of notices equals the count in the moderation database for that year. The compliance calendar holds the next due date.
