What's inside each monthly issue
Six sections, built from our own three-layer data — regulator enforcement, platform policy changes and EU DSA trends — each line linked to its primary source so you can cite the original, not us.
Coverage & Scope
Every source monitored this period plus known gaps — stated up front, so your methodology section can describe exactly what the data does and doesn't cover.
Compliance Calendar
Obligations now in force: effective date, who must act, jurisdiction, and consequence — a structured timeline of what changed when.
Regulator Enforcement Actions
Platform-attributed actions plus named non-platform respondents, with original currency, penalty type/status and docket where stated — primary-source citations ready to footnote.
Platform Policy Changes
Critical changes from Google, Meta, X, TikTok and others — verbatim from the official page, severity-scored, each linked to its source with a retrieval date.
DSA Enforcement Trend
EU DSA Transparency Database metrics — account actions, automation rate, biggest category movers — with CC BY 4.0 attribution. Charts you can reproduce.
Deep-Dive of the Month
One analyst-written interpretation connecting the month's regulator actions, policy changes and enforcement data — a starting point, not a substitute for your own analysis.
Built to a citable standard
The discipline that makes it safe to cite: named, dated, currency-accurate, openly licensed, and traceable to a primary source — never an unverified claim.
Source-linked, every line
Each figure and change links to its primary filing or official policy page, with the date we retrieved it — so you cite the original source, not a secondary claim.
Openly licensed (CC BY 4.0)
Reuse the data, figures and tables in academic work, articles and reports under CC BY 4.0 — attribution only. The underlying enforcement dataset is published with a Zenodo DOI.
Original currency, named parties
Penalties shown in their stated currency (AUD, GBP, EUR — not USD-normalised), with the actual settling or charged parties named.
Effective vs detected dates
Every date is labelled 'effective' (source-stated) or 'detected' (our log). A detection date is never presented as a deadline.
Methodology stated
Each issue states its sources, scope and known gaps, so your methods section can describe and reproduce the data honestly.
Machine-built, human-reviewed
Layers are generated from primary sources then human-reviewed before issue — a QA gate, not an unattended dump.
Who it's for
- Academics & platform-governance researchers
- Investigative & tech-policy journalists
- Policy think tanks & analysts
- Trade press covering platforms and regulation
The gain: citable, primary-source evidence; reproducible charts and figures; and a methodology you can footnote — without building the collection pipeline yourself.
What it is — and isn't
Is: reference-grade, openly licensed (CC BY 4.0) regulatory data — enforcement, policy and DSA trends — each line linked to its primary source.
Isn't: peer-reviewed analysis or legal advice. Treat the deep-dive as a starting point and cite the linked primary source in your own work; verify before relying.
Layers 2 & 3 are machine-generated from primary sources and human-reviewed. Editorial: Emine Gürcü, Product Lead.
