Huge respect to the Trust & Safety teams who are working through Christmas, New Year and everything in between.
So if you’re part of a T&S, moderation, policy, investigations or on-call safety team - thank you. Your work matters more than most people will ever realise.

🚩A VERY real trade-off in the world of content moderation that we deal with daily.
Do you set systems to be extremely precise and miss a lot of harmful content? 🆚 Or loosen the threshold and risk mistakes in order to remove more harm overall?
Where do you think the line should sit?

💡Another thing my job has taught me: #upskilling = how teams stay sane.
Especially in tech, the landscape is shifting so quickly. Platforms, policies, algorithms, the rules keep changing. The companies that invest in their people adapt fastest.

So #Australia just banned social media for under-16s. I think the intention was right.
It obviously won't be the magic silver bullet to children's safety as a whole, but it's a step in the right direction IMO.
Do you think bans help, harm, or simply push the problem somewhere else❓

How does Australia's under-16 social media ban work?
The world-first law aims to reduce the risks children face online, but critics fear it may not work.

Most people don't know when not to trust #AI, and honestly, why should they? The #UX is built to feel warm and friendly.
Digital safety in 2026 is basically: don’t confuse a polite chatbot with a professional judgment call.
We need way more AI literacy, not just new features.

A short vid I found on the 'reality' of content moderation. At this scale, it isn't just "content review", it's emotional triage, every day.
We talk a lot about online safety, but almost never about the humans holding that line.
What’s one thing you think platforms should actually change here?

Working in tech as a young woman, I learned early that #ImposterSyndrome isn’t always internal. Sometimes it’s handed to you. At one point, a colleague literally went to HR to complain I was “too young” for the role I was hired to do.
I've now learned: If I'm in the room, there's a reason for it.

Our platforms aren't just magically kept safe. There are real people BTS in content moderation who are exposed to some of the worst online content, and we have to make sure they're also being looked after!

There is a dark side to content moderation in East Africa - Africa at LSE
The burden of social media content moderation is falling on those who are being insufficiently supported to cope with its ills, writes Kelly Makola. In today’s hyperconnected world, where social media is ubiquitous, content moderation is celebrated as a shield to protect users from harmful material online. Yet beneath this protective layer lies a troubling

Wow, looks like online blackmail is rising.
This is why open conversations about what to share and what to protect are just as important as any tech solution.
If you haven't already, maybe this is the sign to ask your kids how they're navigating online spaces.

I'm 💯 on board with this author. #AI can flag problems, but humans catch the nuance. Both are needed to make #socialmedia actually safe. It's not just tech, it's trust.

#AI can be a force for good only if we take its worst-case uses seriously.
Giving experts controlled access to examine models means we can spot risks at the source and build stronger safeguards into the tech we release. I think it's a step in the right direction. #ChildSafety

This is one of the challenges that keeps many of us in trust & safety awake at night. #AI learns faster than humans, but the answer isn't just "more takedowns." We need smarter early detection, better cross-industry collabs and protective design baked into products from the start.
How violent extremists are thriving online - and why it's getting harder to catch them
While Islamist and far-right extremism is on the rise, so too is nihilistic extremism - that which is driven not by a specific ideology, but simply "destruction and chaos".

A major global study of 9,500 parents across 5 countries on children's online #safety reveals:
📌 80%+ worry about their children's safety online
📌 2/3 support stronger #regulation
📌 77% of UK parents back age verification, even with more data collection
What’s the next step?

Love the way @melrobbins.bsky.social frames #ImposterSyndrome here.
It's not about self-doubt, it's ambition! You care about succeeding in that environment.
I’ve definitely felt it stepping into rooms with senior execs… but honestly, it’s also what keeps me sharp and hungry.
