online chat text
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!

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

report to the Ombudsman against Discrimination
DO stands for Diskrimineringsombudsmannen
"Diskrimineringsombudsmannen (DO) arbetar mot diskriminering som har samband med kön, könsidentitet eller könsuttryck, etnisk tillhörighet, religion eller annan trosuppfattning, funktionsnedsättning, sexuell läggning och ålder."
"Diskrimineringsombudsmannen (DO) arbetar mot diskriminering som har samband med kön, könsidentitet eller könsuttryck, etnisk tillhörighet, religion eller annan trosuppfattning, funktionsnedsättning, sexuell läggning och ålder."

Also, Sven is right - that is the official translation. Anna's suggestion is a possibility, but this Ombudsman isn't just against discrimination, he/she is also working for equality, which encompasses that and more.
