If you work in trust & safety, you know it’s more than a job. You didn't choose this field for the easy path or the recognition. You chose it because you believe the internet can be better. Listen to our episode w/ David Polgar about the humans behind the work: https://www.youtube.com/@SaferbyThorn
The same curiosity and problem-solving instinct that drives founders can also fuel meaningful progress in child protection. But in this space, practitioners must keep an eye on building carefully, learning continuously, and acting with care for the people their technology impacts most.
Work in trust & safety and child protection is high-stakes by nature. When the risks are real, it’s easy to stay heads-down and push through. Don’t forget to show yourself some love, because protecting children over the long term requires protecting the people doing the work.
Image-based abuse has expanded to include video, AI-generated content, & increasingly sophisticated grooming patterns. Bad actors adapt quickly to new features, new formats, & new technologies. Safer was built to help platforms stay ahead of those evolving threats. https://safer.io/#cta-contact
🇨🇿 General Řehka: We depend on outcome of the war in Ukraine. So, supporting Ukraine isn't charity. It's in our vital interests. And we need to make sure, it's for our own good, that we integrate Ukraine into European and, hopefully, also into NATO structure as soon as possible.

As a three time combat veteran, I get pissed when a five-time draft dodger like Trump bangs the war drums from Mar-A-Lago. When politicians talk tough, it’s not their kids who get sent to war. It’s working class kids who have to fight.

You can’t claim to be "tough on crime" while presiding over a system where more than half of all charges are dropped. Courtrooms are triple-booked and under-resourced and Bill 75 addresses none of this. This govt is failing victims, failing on public safety, and letting the justice system crumble.
