Statutory status
Priority processing of qualified illegal-content notices, with independence/reporting/review obligations; each notice is not a binding removal order.
Applicant-establishment DSC — trusted-flagger role → Article22 trusted-flagger status
Insufficiently precise/inaccurate notices can trigger investigation/suspension; revocation requires findings and response opportunity. Annual reports and independence explanation are separately required.
Article22 trusted-flagger status → Online-platform providers — Article22 notice role
Necessary priority/undue-delay processing is required, but platform decision on each notice remains; status is not automatic takedown authority.

Two other legal channels must remain distinct. Article40(12) covers publicly accessible platform data for researchers satisfying conditions8(b)-(e), without the paragraph4 project-specific vetted route. Article22 trusted-flagger status separately gives priority processing of illegal-content notices within an expertise area, with reporting, suspension and revocation rules. It does not make each notice a binding removal command. No status under either channel is inferred for GDI.
