Trust and Safety? Is this the new buzzword for HR, a la People Empowerment?

[–] fubo@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, it's more like "policy enforcement".

Ostensibly it means "if our policy forbids Nazis, then you can trust us that there won't be Nazis engaging with your content on our site."

But really, the policy doesn't forbid Nazis.
