About this event
Building a Trust & Safety Team
What sorts of trust and safety considerations should a company anticipate before they have their first 1000 users? Their first 100,000 users? Their first 1,000,000,000 users? On this panel, we’ll be talking to experts who have learned these lessons firsthand, both from inside and outside tech. From which types of abuse to anticipate first, to how to build a resilient and effective trust and safety team, to how to talk about trust and safety with your users and with the public, our panelists will share thoughts on how the field has grown and how to prepare for the changes the future will bring.
