Trust and Safety Research Conference Proceedings 2024

This issue of the Journal of Online Trust and Safety, which serves as the Conference Proceedings for the 2024 Trust and Safety Research Conference, consists of contributions from academia, civil society, and industry. These include: a paper drawing on nationally representative surveys in 12 countries about experiences with scams; a study on help-seeking behavior among individuals searching for child sexual abuse material on the dark web; a paper that estimates the portion of X (previously Twitter) profiles with AI-generated profile photos; and research on a media streaming platform’s experience conducting algorithmic impact assessments. The commentaries include: a discussion of GitHub’s unique content moderation challenges and an exploration of how data portability and data donations could support research. The Journal of Online Trust and Safety is grateful to the Omidyar Network for their generous support.
