Trust and Safety Comes of Age?

As content moderation and other trust and safety issues have been, to put it mildly, at the fore of tech concerns over the last few years, it’s interesting to take a step back and look at the various conferences, professional organizations and research communities that have emerged to address this broad and challenging set of subjects. To get a sense of where trust and safety is as a field at this moment in time, Tech Policy Press spoke to three individuals involved in it, each coming from different perspectives:

Shelby Grossman, a research scholar at the Stanford Internet Observatory and a leader in the community of academic researchers studying trust and safety issues;

David Sullivan, the leader of an industry funded consortium, the Digital Trust and Safety Partnership;

Jeff Allen, co-founder chief research officer of an independent membership organization of trust and safety professionals, the Integrity Institute.
