2025 Transparency Report – Trusted Flagger

The Trusted Flagger mechanism is a component of the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA). A Trusted Flagger is an organisation formally recognised by the relevant national authority as having particular expertise in identifying certain types of illegal content online—such as hate speech, terrorist content, or, in IFAW’s case, illegal wildlife trade—and reporting such content to online platforms.

This report is published in line with the transparency reporting obligations applicable to Trusted Flaggers under Article 22 of the DSA.
