*Note that each URL can currently only be tagged with one descriptive factor. Content that falls into multiple categories (e.g. a journalistic source, with content that is relevant to professional life) will only be counted once, under one factor. Multiple factor tracking is in development. ** URLs not delisted due to "insufficient information" are not counted in the pie chart on the Transparency Report because they are not fully processed (e.g., individuals can provide additional information that allows us to make a decision).

This dataset includes data prior to implementation of our first effort to improve tracking, which began in Q3 2015. **Note that URL can currently only be tagged with one descriptive factor. Content that falls into multiple categories (e.g. a journalistic source, with content that is relevant to professional life) will only be counted once, under one factor. Multiple factor tracking is still being built out. *** URLs not delisted due to "insufficient information" are not counted in the pie chart on the Transparency Report because they are not fully processed (e.g., individuals can provide additional information that allows us to make a decision).
