The (ACE) is a new, independent body, certified by the media regulator in Ireland under the EU’s Digital Services Act to resolve disputes on content moderation decisions by social media platforms.
ACE provides quick and impartial decisions on wrongful takedowns, harassment or misinformation, as well as other areas. We are initially covering Facebook, TikTok and YouTube, and plan to expand to other social media platforms and content types such as account suspensions, this year.
Cases can be brought by individuals or organisations from across Europe and at no cost for the time being. The Appeals Centre aims to regularly publish data on its work, which can be used by researchers, regulators, and other interested parties.

Sada Social is a Palestinian non-profit organization dedicated to defending digital rights, ensuring online safety for Palestinians—with a focus on journalists and media platforms—and promoting media freedom in one of the world’s most challenging digital ecosystems.
Access Now’s Digital Security Helpline works with individuals and organizations around the world to keep them safe online. If you’re at risk, we can help you improve your digital security practices to keep out of harm’s way. If you’re already under attack, we provide rapid-response emergency assistance.
In the first month of 2025, Sada Social documented more than 350 digital violations related to Palestinian digital content, with 43% occurring on Meta's platforms (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads, and Messenger), 35% on TikTok, 15% on X, and 7% on YouTube.
Governments around the world are seeking to regulate how social media companies address problematic content on their platforms, especially hate speech, harassment, and disinformation. But while well-intentioned, their proposals risk doing more harm than good, and they fail to tackle the real problem: the excessive power of a few huge companies whose business models are inherently exploitative.
ARTICLE 19’s policies set out a solution that would not only protect freedom of expression and privacy online but also – finally – give us all a viable alternative to Big Tech.
ARTICLE 19 presents 2 new reports examining the human rights responsibilities of tech companies operating in authoritarian countries – part of their Engaging Tech for Internet Freedom (ETIF) project.
The first report looks at how repressive governments in Asia – with a particular focus on China, Myanmar, and Vietnam – regularly violate the rights of their people online: censoring content, spreading state propaganda, and undertaking mass surveillance. What’s more, they expect tech companies to facilitate this repression, with catastrophic consequences for people’s right to speak and to know.
Since 2018, Meta has sponsored the Rory Peck Trust, a vital lifeline to freelance journalists reporting from a war zone or the underbelly of a humanitarian or constitutional crisis, giving out over 140 assistance grants in the last year.
The Trust provides practical and financial support to freelance journalists and their families worldwide, assisting them in times of crisis and helping them to work more safely and professionally.
The Sada Social Center emphasizes the need to confront these digital violations and crimes, calling on the international community and human rights institutions to take immediate action to protect Palestinian rights and stop the aggressive policies that threaten their lives and dignity.
