Ethics
Working at the intersection of data, technology and online harms means that our team is constantly grappling with complex ethical issues. We recognize the potential of our work to change lives for the better, but we also recognize its potential to do harm.
That’s why we have developed ethical safeguards at every step of the way. We see our duty of care and our commitment to data privacy not as barriers for us to overcome in the development of our technology, but as opportunities to make products that are both more ethical and more effective.
