Overview

• Covering November 2024 through August 2025, the report logs nearly 10,000 disputes, with more than 3,300 in scope and over 1,500 decisions issued.
• More than three-quarters of decisions overturned platform actions, and about two-thirds of those were default rulings after platforms failed to share the content at issue.
• ACE says YouTube provided no content, enabling decisions in only 29 of 343 eligible YouTube disputes; YouTube argues ACE lacks necessary privacy safeguards and notes it has its own appeals system.
• Because ACE’s rulings are non-binding, platforms have only partially implemented them, with Meta and TikTok accepting about half of the overturns they responded to.
• ACE plans to expand to more platforms and policy areas, including scams and marketplaces, and will move to a funding model based on per-case fees charged to platforms.
