Article 18 imposes obligations on VLOPs (as designated under the DSA) to protect content of media service providers from arbitrary moderation. VLOPs must: (1) provide a self-declaration function for media service providers (Article 18(1)) allowing them to identify themselves as media-service providers and to commit to editorial responsibility + control mechanisms + independence; (2) prior to suspending or restricting the visibility of content provided by a self-declared media-service provider, give the provider an opportunity to react to the notification within 24 hours (or shorter in case of crisis) before the action is taken, and provide a statement of reasons; (3) provide a priority complaint mechanism (Article 18(4)) for self-declared media-service providers; (4) report aggregate statistics on the application of Article 18 (Article 18(6)) to the Board annually.
