From the website: “We are engineers, product managers, researchers, analysts, data scientists, operations specialists, policy experts and more, with decades of combined experience across numerous platforms. We understand the systemic causes of problems on the social internet and how to mitigate them. We have seen (and built!) successful and unsuccessful solutions. We bring this experience and expertise directly to the people theorizing, building, and governing the social internet.”

• Digital Trust & Safety Partnership: Trust and Safety is a critical function at many of the world’s leading digital service companies. The people working in Trust and Safety help to promote a safer and more trustworthy internet. The internet is more than pixels and algorithms. It is guided by Trust and Safety professionals who spend their days keeping people safe from abuse. Each company is guided by its own values, product, aims, digital tools, and human-led processes to make tough decisions about how to enable a broad range of human expression and conduct, while working to identify and prevent harmful content and conduct. Until now, the field of Trust and Safety has not yet developed the kinds of best practices and assessments that have been crucial to maturing and organizing other tech disciplines like cybersecurity. That’s why leading technology companies are coming together to form the Digital Trust & Safety Partnership.
