Exciting news for tech Trust and Safety professionals: Introducing Pathways! Today the Tech Coalition launched Pathways: expert advice, resources and learning opportunities for the tech industry to further build capacity to combat online child sexual exploitation and abuse (OCSEA). This program is available to all tech industry employees, not just Tech Coalition members, to facilitate and promote knowledge sharing of basic trust and safety practices that can be used to fight OCSEA and help protect young people online. Pathways provides access to a resource hub, invitations to discussions with experts on child safety topics, the ability to license child safety technology, and more. The Pathways resource hub currently includes expert guides on topics, such as: How to write External Standards that prohibit OCSEA, which typically include Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, How to draft child safety Content Policies, How to report child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or OCSEA to the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). Over time, additional resources will be added to the hub and discussion topics will be announced. Pathways also provides access to the Tech Coalition Membership Development program, which can be a first step in setting the foundation of a comprehensive trust and safety program, built around industry best practices and criteria for Tech Coalition membership. The membership development program will launch later this year. We look forward to helping you choose your pathway. Visit https://lnkd.in/eFQf-ZwV to sign up! #trustandsafety #childsafety
