This course will introduce students to the work of Trust & Safety in online platforms. Students will learn what happens behind the scenes of their favorite platforms while engaging in exercises designed to struggle with the challenges that T&S professionals face on a daily basis.

This practice is also continuously evolving alongside the development of new technologies (e.g., AI) and in light of new political, legal, and global pressures.
