Trust and safety teams at tech companies play a crucial role in combating propaganda and online harassment. These teams handle issues such as misinformation, data breaches, and user harassment. The importance of trust and safety became evident when Elon Musk downsized Twitter's team, resulting in spam, harassment, and a loss of trust from users and advertisers. Trust and safety teams have a range of skills and responsibilities, including protecting organizations from bad actors and maintaining brand integrity. They were particularly important during recent US election cycles, working to combat misinformation and ensure accurate information about voting. However, the work of trust and safety teams often goes unnoticed because their success is not immediately apparent. This lack of recognition is partly due to cognitive biases that lead people to believe that victims of harassment or hacking are at fault, rather than recognizing design flaws or systemic problems. It is important to appreciate the work of trust and safety teams, as their absence can lead to negative consequences. [Extracted from the article]
