What is Trust & Safety?

Trust & Safety (T&S) refers to the teams, technology and corporate
function(s) at internet companies and service providers dedicated to
ensuring that users are protected from unwanted or harmful experiences. Key
functions include Policy, which is the team developing the company’s rules
to govern its products, platforms and services, and Enforcement or
Operations, the teams that work on ensuring these rules are followed. Large
companies may include engineering, machine learning, data science, threat
intelligence, research and communications capabilities that support and
augment these two core elements.
