How It Works

From screenshot to legal action in three clicks. Here's the full process.

Why Coordination Is the Key

Platforms process millions of individual reports daily and most get dismissed. The DSA's real power lies in cross-border mechanisms: when identical complaints reach multiple Digital Services Coordinators (DSCs, the national regulator each EU country has appointed to enforce the DSA) simultaneously, they must coordinate their response (Art. 51 & 56).

Step 1

Start or Join a Council

Councils bring together citizens around a common concern: election interference, climate disinformation, health misinformation, or foreign information operations.

Step 2

Document the Violation

GetResilience guides you through structured evidence that maps directly to DSA legal requirements. A structured complaint triggers investigation; a vague one gets ignored.

Why DSA Article Mapping Matters

By automatically mapping your report to the correct articles, GetResilience ensures your complaint uses the legal language that triggers formal investigation.

Art. 16 - Report illegal contentArt. 22 - Trusted flaggersArt. 24 - Transparency obligationsArt. 25 - Dark patterns prohibitionArt. 26 - Advertising transparencyArt. 34 - Systemic risk assessmentArt. 51 - Cross-border coordination

Permanent Evidence Archive

Disinformation content often gets deleted once flagged. GetResilience creates a permanent record with screenshots, URLs, and metadata. This is essential for enforcement proceedings.

Step 3

Coordinated EU Filing

Your council submits identical evidence to all 27 EU Digital Services Coordinators simultaneously, triggering the DSA's cross-border cooperation mechanisms.

Your Council

Identical structured evidence sent to all 27 Digital Services Coordinators

What Happens After Filing

Systemic pattern established

Multiple identical reports from different countries reveal a cross-border violation. Under Art. 34, platforms with 45M+ EU users must formally assess the risk.

Simultaneous investigation

All 27 national DSCs (Digital Services Coordinators) receive the same evidence. Under Art. 51, they must coordinate their response across borders.

Mandatory platform action

Platforms must conduct risk assessments and implement mitigation measures. Non-compliance can result in fines up to 6% of global annual turnover.

The Path to Trusted Flagger Status

Under DSA Article 22, organizations that demonstrate expertise in identifying illegal content can apply for "Trusted Flagger" status with their national DSC. Platforms must process Trusted Flagger reports faster and with greater care. As councils build a track record of accurate, well-documented reports, they become eligible to apply for this status.

Your Report's Journey

Here's what happens at each stage, and what you can expect in terms of timeline.

Submitted

Immediate

Your report is received and visible on your dashboard and to your council members. Evidence and DSA article mapping are locked in.

Under Review

Within days

A council admin or moderator reviews your evidence, checks the DSA article mapping, and may reach out for additional context.

Forwarded to EU DSCs

When the council is ready

The council packages your report with other related evidence and forwards it to Digital Services Coordinators across EU member states. This is the step where individual reports become coordinated cross-border action.

Regulatory Process

Weeks to months

DSCs assess the complaint, coordinate across borders if needed (Art. 51), and may require platforms to conduct risk assessments (Art. 34). Formal investigations can take time, but the evidence is permanently on record.

Resolved

Varies

The platform has taken action, the regulatory process has concluded, or the violation has been addressed. Your report contributed to the outcome.
