A report periodically issued by a service that discloses metrics and insights about its approach to salient risks and relevant enforcement practices, including how it enforced its policies and how it handled requests to remove or restrict user content, including by responding to user reporting and complaints.
Commentary:
- Transparency reports often detail government requests for user records, providing greater public transparency around which kinds of information governments have requested, under what authority, and how frequently; the reports may also disclose how much content was removed due to various legal provisions such as alleged copyright infringement, including fraudulent takedowns, and other forms of abuse.
- In some jurisdictions transparency reports may be required by legislation.
