I’ll be at the Trust & Safety Summit in London this week. Looking forward to hearing from some of the digital platforms that many of the world's 120m refugees rely on to access safe + trusted information. Let me know if you’ll be there and would like to meet. #TSSummit www.iqpc.com/events-trust...

Great to have Filippo Grandi, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, on Bluesky. It’s a vibrant community, and a promising model for decentralized social media policies that transparently address toxicity and strengthen information integrity. @safety.bsky.app @aaron.bsky.team

I joined Bluesky back in 2023 but didn’t find much to keep me here, so it’s cool to see it finally taking off. Expectations are sky high, but this platform has a vitality that makes me remember what I loved about text-based social media in the first place. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/t...

Bluesky has a hint of the old Twitter magic, but the feeling of freedom it offers might be even better.

"Built by the people, for the people" - it's a lofty tagline, but I'm glad to see Bluesky appears to be prioritising trust, safety, and interoperability, towards enabling healthy public conversations in the digital space. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/t...

Content moderation policies vary widely from one social network to the next, and they all have significant influence on perceptions and narratives around the conflict. Thoughtful and needed reporting by @oremus.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

As some major platforms ban Hamas, others take a laissez-faire approach.
