I started in content moderation when I was 13-years-old. I didn't foresee that this act, had I not been born in the United States, would be grounds to deny me (or a family member) an H-1B visa. I simply enjoyed an online community and wanted to help maintain it.
But the Trump administration is nothing if not set on punishing those who work to create a better world for others.

📢 ISPs & Hosts | Following last month's Endgame 3.0 announcement, if you've received a notification, and are yet to take action, here's what you need to do:
👉 Go to this remediation webpage: https://www.spamhaus.org/endgame-3
👉 Enter the access code included in the email.
👉 Download the list of infected machines
👉 Verify each infected machine, and where necessary, contact the owner and ask them to run antivirus and malware removals tools, and reset their passwords for any online services they may have accessed from them (there's a ready-made email template for you to use on the remediation webpage 😀)
Thank you again to everyone who is part of this important effort 🙏

I just submitted our talk proposal for @roost.tools to FOSDEM! If it’s accepted, you should come to hear about how we’re bringing the open source model to trust and safety, starting with the open source Osprey project that’s already being used in production across multiple large, well-known platforms. 👀

We know that the right approach is to bring the superpowers of open source development and community to the T&S domain to collaborate on this shared layer of Internet infrastructure.
If you are interested in using these tools—and potentially contributing back to the emerging open source T&S commons—please check out https://roost.tools. We’re a nonprofit building open source T&S tools and community, and we’d love for you to join us.

I’m still learning a lot at @roost.tools but I’m at the point where I want to start talking to the folks in my circles and beyond who could benefit from open source trust and safety tools.
I will probably get some sort of form/survey set up for a bit more formal, but for now: if you build, operate, or contribute to an online platform or service where people interact (and you’re not already familiar with ROOST), I would love to talk to you!

Okay it’s probably obvious/I’m over-thinking it, but I really like that every word in the @roost.tools acronym carries weight.
Here’s what ROOST stands for: (🧵)
Khách sạn Royal Hotel ở Hàng Cháo bị tố "bùng phòng" sau khi hủy đặt phòng, khiến du khách để lại hàng loạt đánh giá 1 sao. Google đã chính thức lên tiếng, xác nhận việc gỡ bỏ các đánh giá không dựa trên trải nghiệm thực tế, nhằm đảm bảo tính minh bạch trên nền tảng. Quyết định này nhằm cân bằng quyền lợi giữa người dùng và doanh nghiệp, tuy nhiên vẫn gây tranh luận về trách nhiệm của cơ sở lưu trú.

Character.AI takes a strong stance on AI safety for teens, ending open-ended chat for under-18 users and introducing age assurance tools, chat limits, and a new AI Safety Lab to promote transparency and safe design.
A big step for AI governance - or too conservative for innovation?

I shared with some folks at the Ubuntu Summit last week, but it’s official today: I’ve joined ROOST as OSS Community Manager!
https://cassidyjames.com/blog/ive-joined-roost-oss-community-open-online-safety/
I’m stoked to dive into building and supporting an active and sustainable contributor community around open source trust and safety tools, as well as helping improve the discourse and understanding of open source in the trust and safety world.
I am seriously contemplating deleting my LinkedIn account. It has become far too racist for my comfort, and I still have a Twitter account!
It’s people who are saying the quiet parts out loud in front of employers and employees, both current and future, and of course, archive engines that never forget.
If there’s one Nazi in the bar...

Yo!
I'm looking for my next thing.
I'm a backend dev (primarily PHP with 15+ years professional experience), conference speaker, and a bit of a nerd. I've worked in #Fintech, #CyberSecurity with SANS Institute, and most recently #TrustAndSafety and #Authenticity with Bumble at scale.
I'm interested in something remote, I'm UK based. Engineering or engineering-coordination type jobs!
If you know of anything, hit me up!
Edit: got a new thing, yay! Thanks folks! <3
