Report content

Content that is unlawful under EU law or under the law of a Member State — copyright infringement, defamation, content published without the consent of the person shown, material that is illegal to distribute, and anything else a law makes unlawful.

Content you merely dislike, disagree with, or find distasteful is not unlawful content, and a notice about it will be answered saying so.

By email, to the notice address on the site information page. Plain text is fine. Notices are accepted in Slovak and English.

The address is the electronic mechanism required by Article 16 of the Digital Services Act. It is monitored, and a notice sent to it is treated as giving actual knowledge of what it describes.

You may report anonymously, and it will still be looked at. But a notice without a name and a contact address cannot be confirmed, cannot be replied to with a reasoned decision, and carries less weight where the question is finely balanced — because there is nobody to ask.

A notice with all of this is precise enough to act on. A notice missing the address is not actionable at all, no matter how detailed the rest is.

• The exact address of the content — the link as it would be pasted into the service. Not a channel, not a search result, not a screenshot.
• A clear explanation of why you consider it unlawful, and which law you say it breaks.
• Your name and an email address, unless the notice concerns material involving children, where anonymity is expressly allowed.
• If you are the rights holder or acting for one, a statement of that and enough detail to see the connection.
• A statement that you believe in good faith that the information in the notice is accurate and complete.

The same sequence every time, whoever sent the notice.

1. 1Receipt is confirmed to the address you wrote from, without undue delay.
2. 2The notice is assessed — by a person, on the facts given, not by an automated filter.
3. 3A decision is made: the address is blocked from being fetched, or the notice is refused.
4. 4You are told the decision and the reasons for it, including whether automated means were used at any point in reaching it, and how to contest it.
5. 5Where a decision affects someone who used the service, they are told the same, to the extent there is any way to reach them.

Notices are handled without undue delay and in the order they arrive, except for material involving children, which goes first. This is a service run by one person; a complex copyright question may take days rather than hours, and if a notice is going to take longer, that is said rather than left silent.

Every notice, the decision, and the reasons are recorded and kept for three years.

A notice about this material may be sent anonymously and will be treated exactly the same. Do not delay a report because you would rather not give your name.

A notice sent knowing it is false — to silence something lawful, or to harass — is itself a misuse. Repeated notices of that kind will be refused without individual assessment, after a warning, and the correspondence kept.

This cuts both ways. A refusal to remove something is not evidence of bad faith either, and a notice that turns out to be wrong but was honestly meant is simply a notice that was wrong.

If you sent a notice and it was refused, or a decision went against you, reply to the same address saying why. It goes to a fresh assessment, and the outcome and reasons are sent to you.

This service is small enough that a formal internal complaint-handling system is not required of it, and pretending to run one would be worse than saying so. What is offered instead is real: a second look by a person, and an answer with reasons.

You are not limited to that. You may take the matter to a court, and a dispute about content moderation may be brought before a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body under Article 21 of the Digital Services Act. Those bodies are certified by national Digital Services Coordinators; their decisions are not binding on either side.

An order from a judicial or administrative authority of a Member State to act against specific unlawful content, or to provide information, is complied with where it is valid and properly served.

The issuing authority is informed of what was done and when. The person affected is informed as well, together with the reasons and the remedies available to them, unless the order itself requires otherwise — and where it does, they are told as soon as that requirement lifts.

An order that does not identify what it targets, does not say what law it rests on, or comes from a body without authority over this service, is not complied with quietly. It is answered, and the reason for not complying is given.
