While recognising that the Internet as a fundamental force for good, we also acknowledge that online platforms have often been abused by those wishing to disseminate hate online. As the regulatory landscape is trying to tackle this emerging issue, it is crucial to get together and find innovative solutions to tackle the spread of illegal content online and ensure a safe online environment.

The Trust & Safety Hackathon, held on the margins of the Paris Peace Forum, aims to bring together professionals from varied backgrounds to create solutions to collectively address how to prevent the creation and spread of illegal content online. The roundtable will highlight some of the solutions designed during the Hackathon and discuss how cross industry collaboration could improve the overall safety of our digital world.
