Mike Masnick ✅Good morning folks... today we're launching our new (free, browser-based) game Trust & Safety Tycoon. Please go check it out. Everyone thinks they know how trust & safety should work, but very few have actually done the job. Now's your chance! https://trustandsafety.fun/
You can read more about the game in my Techdirt blog post here, but we've been working on this game in some form for years, including conducting over 40 hours of interviews with dozens of trust & safety professionals. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/10/17/trust-safety-tycoon-try-your-hand-at-managing-a-social-media-trust-safety-team/

- arguing with robots about whether or not there is an unexpected item in the bagging area
