📊 Very large online platforms reported ~8% fewer human moderators in the first half of 2026 than in second half of 2025, while the volume of moderation grew. Between H2 2025 and H1 2026 across all VLOPs : 💠Moderators: Reported moderators employed fell from ~45,500 to ~42,000 people at an aggregate industry level. 8 platforms reported using fewer moderators, with the drop steepest for social media platforms (~14%). 💠Moderation : Moderation actions that VLOPs platforms took on their own initiative (user reports and proactive detection) rose by 12% from ~6.9 billion to ~7.7 billion. 💠Automation: Platform-led actions taken after detection by fully automated means continued to stay at ~50% of all actions taken. 💠User Appeals: Appeals grew by ~46%, from ~50 million to ~73 million, while the share of appealed decisions that were overturned held steady at nearly half (~46%). Disputes sent to independent out-of-court dispute settlement (ODS) bodies doubled, from ~15,000 to ~31,000. Put together, moderators handle on average more decisions, some of which may be partially supported by AI tools. At the same time, users are challenging more decisions as the volume of appeals grows. So far, the data doesn’t necessarily indicate whether this reflects pressure on decision quality, more users exercising their right to appeal, or both. But it’s a signal worth watching as volumes keep rising and cases become more complex. Benchmarking against similar platforms shows where you stand and helps justify investment in resources and tooling. 👉 Want to learn more?
