Balancing transparency in AI content moderation is a complex challenge: explaining decisions helps accountability but can aid bad actors. As regulations tighten, platforms must find ways to explain at scale without compromising security.

Domain Bugs Cost More Than Code Bugs

Domain-Driven Design, ubiquitous language, and bounded contexts matter because product teams ship the wrong workflow when legal, product, and engineering mean different things by the same word.

In addition to our two flagship open source projects, we maintain a simple list of open source safety tools:

If you're building an online platform or community, you don't have to reinvent everything from scratch; lean on what has come before.

Tell us if you discover a new or interesting tool from this list, or if you think there's something missing!

In the (admittedly unlikely) event you happen to be following us here on the fediverse but are also attending ATmosphereConf, be sure to find our ROOSTers @cassidy and @julietshen! They're giving a talk about Coop, our open source trust moderation and review dashboard, and will also be attending other talks and hanging out with folks to help spread the word about open source trust & safety tools.

Even if you're not attending, they can be your line of communication between the fediverse and ATproto. What should they talk to ATproto folks about? We're all ears!

@strypey I nearly joined #Chatroulette, but then Covid and the Ukraine war started, so that never went anywhere. I had a different direction I wanted to take them, though.

#Bumble #TrustAndSafety ? Well, the industry isn't exactly full of dating site whistleblowers, but safety workers in the industry do talk to me. I know more than I would ever want to know about the inside workings of most dating sites, and sadly. It's not really an amazing revelation that Bumble is as bad as the rest, though.

None of the dating sites puts more than a veneer of effort into T&S. They weigh the cost of litigation against the cost of actually doing the work, and so far, litigation costs have always been lower.

Although the DMCA and DSA are important tools, this report shows that they are not immune to misuse—particularly as bad actors increasingly weaponize AI to exploit them.
