Transparency report.

What people reported to us, what we did about it and how long it took. The numbers are counted live from our records every time this page loads.

Covering the 12 months from October 22, 2025 to October 22, 2026, and all time. We publish this voluntarily: as a small business we are not required to under the EU Digital Services Act (arts. 15 and 24), but we think you should be able to see how we moderate.

How long it takes

The median time to decide a notice or an appeal is none decided yet over the last 12 months (none decided yet all time). Intimate images and orders from courts and authorities are handled first.

Automated tools

We use automated duplicate checks, an AI model and reverse image search on Open Walls listings. They advise; a person makes the decision, except that a seller with a long clean record can have a listing approved automatically when every check is clear. A restriction counted as automated above is one where an automated check was part of the decision. Read more in our terms.

Orders from courts and public authorities are counted with the notices above, under court or authority orders. Questions about this report go to the contacts on contact points.
