Quote of the Day — Yoel Roth:

“Content moderation… is about a constituency—your users—and the way that you serve them… These are really consequential decisions.”

A useful frame for platforms, policy folks, and all of us who live online. What should “good governance” look like in digital spaces?

There’s been a ton of work going into Coop, the open source moderation/review dashboard from @roost, in order for it to be used by real T&S teams to protect real people from online harms.

I’m proud of how the team has taken a massive, complex SaaS startup product and turned it into an open source project you can run locally or deploy somewhere like on GitHub Codespace to demo in about 20 mins—maybe faster if you don’t talk as much as me. 😅

Ctrl-Alt-Speech: The Human Element In The Room

What if trust & safety in the AI era isn’t mainly about moderation—but governance?

In our conversation with Yoel Roth, we kept coming back to this shift: as AI makes more decisions, humans don’t disappear. We become auditors, overseers, and the people accountable for fixing what breaks.

So so much work happening on Coop rn. It turns out when you have orgs adopting an open source project, you get lots of feedback—and new contributors! 🙌

If you work on an online platform and don’t have robust trust and safety tools, maybe join the party and check Coop out? I’m happy to answer any questions! And I promise, I’m working on a big documentation rework which should make things a whole lot easier to understand and get started. 😅

Ctrl-Alt-Speech: Age Against The Machine

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.techdirt.com/2026/04/30/ctrl-alt-speech-age-against-the-machine/

Quote of the day from our conversation with Yoel Roth:

“In the future of trust & safety, the key word is governance.”

His point lands harder in the age of AI: the work shifts from moderation alone to auditing, oversight, and fixing automated decisions. How should platforms govern AI well?

Online fraud is an economics problem.

Scammers are profit-seeking actors, so platforms must raise their cost of attack.

In my conversation with Yoel Roth via @analyseasia we discussed why tools like Tinder’s Face Check add purposeful friction: harder for scammers, safer for users.

The real question: where does friction create trust?
