"Today we’re super excited to launch
Trust & Safety Tycoon, a video game
simulating what it’s like to run a trust & safety team at a fictitious, rapidly
scaling social media company called Yapper*. If you’ve ever wanted to see how
you’d do as the head of trust & safety, now is your chance.
Over the last few years we’ve spent a lot of time and effort trying to educate
people on the concept of “trust & safety” at an internet platform, as it’s
something that many people have strong opinions about, but very little direct
experience with themselves. It’s why we ran the content moderation case study
series for a while. It’s why we’ve written thousands of articles about content
moderation and trust & safety here on Techdirt. And it’s why earlier this year,
we created the Moderator Mayhem mobile game, to give people a taste of what’s
it’s like to be a front line content moderator.
And now we’re launching
Trust & Safety Tycoon. This browser-based game (which
works on both mobile and desktop browsers) is a different kind of trust &
safety simulator from the last game. While that game was about being a front
line content moderator, this game is about actually running a trust & safety
team for a rapidly scaling social media startup. You have to set policies, deal
with various dilemmas, face internal and external pressures, weigh tradeoffs,
determine resource allocation and more, all while trying to keep your website
from descending into a cesspit of hate, driving away users and advertisers.
Good luck!"
