What happens when both the private and public sector no longer trust digital platforms to self-regulate? How should platforms respond when regulators demand auditability of and visibility into Trust & Safety systems? And what role does Compliance have in this scenario?

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

I know a lot of folks like this account. But this is a wild, and unhelpful, exaggeration--it's a resistance version of sean spicer. It veers into #resistanceporn and trades accuracy for clout, like other "blue maga" grifters on here. Pls consider finding other sources of inspiration/news/motivation
Post from "alt national park service" account reading "From coast to coast, city streets to small town squares, you showed up. And it mattered. Honored to announce: 12.1 million in attendance." 
The 12.1 million figure is 300 percent more than every estimate produced by experts and scholars who carefully went through nationwide reports.

Yesterday a guy asked one of my kids if we were going to the baseball game in SF later, then realized their hat was actually leopard print w/an orange panel, then noticed the Pride posters we were carrying. He paused and said: “oh, that diversity and equality stuff is great too!” Kind of adorable.
