Following up on #trustcon23, I wrote about how a thriving trust and safety vendor ecosystem has emerged, despite difficult headwinds for the industry as a whole. https://techpolicy.press/the-evolving-trust-and-safety-vendor-ecosystem/
The Evolving Trust and Safety Vendor Ecosystem

Great #TrustCon23 session on the EU's DSA, IFTAS is working to support servers with compliance. Full guidance coming, but for now important to note ActivityPub services must register a POC, comply with requirements to remove illegal content, publish clear and readable terms & conditions, and appoint legal representative within EU. IFTAS will be working to provide a "registered agent" service to help servers comply with these requirements. We are also working on support for Articles 14 and 15.

Interesting tidbit from Meta staff at #TrustCon23 just now: >90% of the CSAM Meta report to NCMEC is visually similar to content they’ve reported before.

The argument goes: The same bad content circulates again and again, so effective moderation requires you to get very good at similarity detection.

It's been a while, lovely to be back in #SanFrancisco for #TrustCon23
