DSA Article 22 explained — for platforms

Article 22 of the Digital Services Act obliges every online platform operating in the EU to give priority to notices submitted by designated Trusted Flaggers, and to process and decide on them without undue delay.

What platforms must do in practice

• Recognise which incoming reports come from a designated Trusted Flagger.
• Route those reports to a priority queue in your trust & safety workflow.
• Keep your knowledge of who is designated current — the register changes over time.

Automating the check

The hard part is step 3: the register is published as a web page. This site turns it into a free API so you can resolve an incoming report against the live list — for example by the reporter's email domain:

# is this report from a designated flagger?
curl "https://api.dsa-api.com/v1/trusted-flaggers/lookup?domain=example.org"
