YouTube video by All Tech Is Human Exploring the future of Trust and Safety

Our friends at @alltechishuman.bsky.social convened a panel on the future of Trust & Safety: the professionals who design the systems keeping social media safe.

With T&S being outsourced, AI on the rise, and Big Tech less interested in moderation than ever, this is an essential topic to watch.
