Meta — Community Standards Enforcement Report

Meta's flagship voluntary transparency report — how much violating content it actioned on Facebook and Instagram across ~16 policy areas, quarterly since 2017 Q4. Unlike the DSA or Türkiye Law 5651 reports, the CSER isn't filed under any single law; Meta publishes it of its own accord (now under the "Integrity Reports" umbrella). Headline metrics: prevalence (how often violating content is seen), content actioned and removed, the proactive rate (share caught before a user reported it), and appeals / restores. A tidy-long dataset: each row is one measured value identified by app × policy area × metric × quarter. Prevalence and rates are percentages (never summed); Cross-Policy Data is an across-policy aggregate, so it's excluded from the per-policy breakdowns below.

Prevalence over time (Facebook)

Upper-bound prevalence — the estimated share of views that were of violating content — each quarter, one line per policy area (the five Meta reports prevalence for). A percentage; lower is better.
