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.
This control maps to 5 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
The graph holds this control, the 5 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
