Swedish term or phrase: DO-anmäla
The context:
online gaming company has sent an archive of chat text within a gaming chat room
the roomies were discussing a poster of some sort that may have been offensive in nature
one member asked the other
"plåtade du för att DO-anmäla dem??"

(Did you take a snapshot [of the poster] to report them to the ___?)

I assume DO is an authority of some description, but googling DO even with an advanced search filter is like finding a very small needle in a huge hay stack!

  -> Thank you very much!

agree  Anna Herbst: You're right, Sven. They use a translation of the old Jämo in English, rather than allow for the change of name in Swedish.
