Dataset
This dataset provides annotated wireframe illustrations and interface screenshots of content reporting mechanisms (RMs) on Facebook and TikTok, evaluated within the context of the Digital Services Act (DSA). The visual materials were designed to support expert interviews and a heuristic cognitive walkthrough, focusing on the usability and compliance of illegal content flagging processes across different EU member states.
The dataset includes:
Wireframe mockups of reporting flows on Facebook and TikTok.
Comparative interface designs for Facebook across France, Germany, Austria, and other EU member states.
Detailed sequence visualizations for specific categories such as terrorist content on TikTok, including:
Original interface screenshots,
Annotated process steps with legal context (e.g., distinctions between ToS and legal reporting),
Complexity markers (e.g., number of steps, required user inputs, legal references).
Color-coded annotations (e.g., blue for Terms of Service, red for legal obligations) and jurisdiction-specific variations in interface design.
