Online safety after Trump’s deplatforming

January 7, 2021 By Anne 3 Comments

Among many other things, the past 24 hours were a pivotal moment for content moderation – for online safety worldwide. I'm usually not US-centric in the way I think about online safety, but what happened in Washington and online, yesterday and since, and then with the global platforms, showed us how far our thinking – and questions – about Internet safety have come.

Digital safety, wellbeing: 2018 highlights (Part 1)

December 27, 2018 By Anne 1 Comment
