The 2026-01 GitHub row is not valid CSV: the average_mau and service fields are separated by a . instead of a comma, so the service column will be missing for this row. Update it to use a comma separator (matching the header and all prior rows).

| # Average Monthly Active Users for EU | ||
|
|
||
| The Digital Services Act (DSA) requires online platforms to report information on the average monthly active users (MAU) in the EU, defined as the number of users in EU member states that either: (1) are exposed to content hosted by the online platform and disseminated through the platform's online interface; or (2) request that the online platform host content. The average MAU for a given month is based on the average of the MAU of the preceding 6 months, so for example, the average MAU for July 2025 is calculated by taking the average of the MAU of January 2025 through June 2025. | ||

The calculation example uses ambiguous/incorrect date formatting ("July 1 2025" / "December 31 2025"). Consider formatting as "July 1, 2025" and "December 31, 2025", or keep month-only wording ("July 2025 through December 2025") to match the rest of the doc and avoid confusion.
