Transparency reporting

Signatories report progress on code committments through annual transparency reports. 

ABOUT TRANSPARENCY REPORTS

A core part of The Australian Code of Practice on Disinformation and Misinformation are the commitments made by platforms to provide public transparency about the steps they are making to combat mis- and disinformation. If we can increase understanding of these complex challenges over time, then industry, government, civil society and academics can all continuously improve their policies and approaches.

That is why every company that signs the code commits to safeguards against harmful misinformation and disinformation, and annual transparency reports about those safeguards. These reports provide new insights into the management and scale of mis- and disinformation in Australia.

2025 TRANSPARENCY REPORTS

The fifth set of reports were published in May 2025.

They cover data from the January 2024 – December 2024 calendar year. The reports have been reviewed by an independent expert Shaun Davies

PAST TRANSPARENCY REPORTS

Transparency reports have been lodged since the code’s inception in 2021. As part of improvements to the reporting process, all reports have been reviewed by an independent expert Hal Crawford, who also developed best practice guidelines to guide signatories. Past reports are available on the DIGI website and can be found at this link.
2024

The fourth set of reports were published in May 2024 and cover data from the January 2023 – December 2023 calendar year. Twitch, a new signatory to the code, also provided a voluntary baseline report. The reports have been reviewed by an independent expert Hal Crawford, who also developed best practice guidelines to guide signatories.

2023

The third set of reports were published in May 2023 and cover data from the January 2022 – December 2022 calendar year. The reports have been reviewed by an independent expert Hal Crawford, who also developed best practice guidelines to guide signatories.

2021

The second set of reports were published in May 2022 and cover data from the January 2021 – December 2021 calendar year. As part of improvements to the reporting process, all reports have been reviewed by an independent expert Hal Crawford, who also developed best practice guidelines to guide signatories.

Inaugural

The first set of reports was published on May 22, 2021, exactly three months after the launch of the code. The inaugural transparency reports were accompanied by documentation from each signatory outlining which of the code’s opt-in commitments they are adopting, in addition to the minimum mandatory commitments.
