Together, they represent the diversity of stakeholders in this discipline, platforms, solution providers, service providers, experts, and regulators. Since its launch in 2022, the goal of the Trust & Safety Forum has been to create a dynamic space for changemakers shaping the digital future—across technology (AI, generative AI, cloud computing, smart devices), policy, and advocacy.
Year after year, the Forum has consistently brought to light issues that were overlooked in broader discussions. It started with addressing the welfare of analysts and moderators, then emphasized the importance of perspective of victims, particularly adult victims of image-based sexual violence (non-consensual intimate content, deepfakes, sextortion, etc.). In 2025, the focus was on hybrid threats that thrive on extreme violence, hate and child sexual abuse content. Child protection has been a constant theme throughout the various editions, both child victims and children using digital services safely. The conclusions of the Trust & Safety Forum 2025 concluded that, as threats become more hybrid, a cross-functional approach between policy teams and trust and safety teams is essential.
