Most online platforms are trying to answer the same Trust & Safety question: What should be automated - and what requires human oversight? Get that balance wrong, and moderation systems either lose context or lose scale. Join us on 21st May for a practical webinar on how leading platforms are building moderation systems that actually work - combining automation and human oversight to improve accuracy, efficiency, and compliance. We’ll be joined by Veronica Tamimi, Engagement & Communities Lead at Daily Mail, who’ll share her real-world perspective on managing content moderation for one of the world’s most well-known media platforms. 📅 21st May 2026 🕓 4pm BST / 11am EST Secure your spot: https://bit.ly/4f4QVD5 #TrustAndSafety #ContentModeration #AI

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us last night for the London Trust & Safety Meetup - and a special thank you to Trustpilot for hosting us 🙌 Despite the travel disruption, we had an incredible turnout and a room full of thoughtful conversations, new connections, and shared challenges across the T&S community. Special thanks to our fantastic speakers Jeff Paradise (Trustpilot) for sharing insights on balancing trust with commercial realities and Tracy Manners (Oversight Board) for a powerful talk on the interdependencies between policy, communications, and technology in Trust & Safety. It was great to see such a strong mix of platforms, tech partners, and practitioners all in one place - exactly what makes this community so valuable. Check out a few snaps from the evening below 📸 If you couldn’t make it this time, save the date as we’ll be back on 24th June for the next meetup. #TrustAndSafety #ContentModeration #OnlineSafety
