§3.3.16 Providers’ measures against illegal content

COMMISSION NOTICE Guidelines on ranking transparency pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2019/1150 of the European Parliament and of the Council · European Union

75. Where providers take measures to tackle illegal content online, they need to consider the effect that these measures may have on ranking and what may need to be included in the description of ‘main parameters’ required under Article 5. The effect on ranking can differ between providers, but in general both the presence and temporary presence of illegal content as well as the removal of illegal content can have a direct impact on the visibility of business users' legitimate offers. Where such measures amount to ‘main parameters’, in deciding what to describe, providers should consider what information and transparency about, for example, the types and prevalence of illegal content on the service in question could help business users better understand the functioning of the ranking mechanisms in question.
