The ROI of T&S: How to Position Trust & Safety as a Revenue Imperative

- Ailís Daly, Panel Moderator, Head of Trust & Safety, WebPurify
- Patrick Lawler, Global Head of Safety Policy, Bolt
- Eoin O'Reilly, Director of Enterprise Risk, Etsy

Revenue and trust and safety are often not words that go hand-in-hand. At many companies, trust and safety is viewed as a cost center and teams that do this work can struggle to get the resourcing they need or have the work made a priority. However, in recent years, we’ve seen high-profile instances (e.g. Stop Hate for Profit, Cambridge Analytica, YouTube ad boycott, Musk-Twitter acquisition) of trust and safety incidents having a significant impact on a company's reputation, user base, and ultimately revenue, with companies learning that a loss of trust with one’s customers impacts their bottom line. This panel will probe deeper into how trust and safety leaders can ensure their organizations understand the criticality of investment in this space, develop products and features responsibly, and position this work as not just morally or legally necessary, but also an imperative for building a durable business.

As MiCA Comes Into Effect, Here’s What Companies Need to Know

- Ted James, Associate Legal Counsel, LegitScript
- Luca Jarone, Marketplace Solutions Consultant, LegitScript

The European Union’s Markets in Crypto Assets regulation (MiCA) is a sweeping set of measures that aim to maintain financial stability by regulating crypto assets. Set to go into full effect in December, MiCA provides a framework for monitoring compliance and evaluating legal and reputational risk for entities touching the crypto asset space. How will this impact internet companies? Because this is a nascent framework, MiCA lacks a specific history of interpretation, litigation, and enforcement, not to mention the manner in which it will interact with existing regulatory schemes such as anti-money laundering and consumer protection regulations. Risk assessments will need to remain dynamic, and entities with exposure need to continuously monitor the moving pieces. In this presentation, LegitScript Associate Counsel Ted James helps you understand the framework of MiCA, explains how it impacts internet companies, and offers insight on balancing.

Beyond KYB and KYC: Why Marketplaces Need to ‘Know Your User`

- Lee Clifton, Global Head of Payments Performance and Strategy, Stripe
- Vasileios Konteas, Head of Due Diligence and KYB, DHPay
- Emma Lindley, Managing Director, Caf
- Holly Sandberg, Director of Trust and Security, Reverb

In the marketplace economy, the notion of who and what is a “business” becomes increasingly blurry. When individuals are buying and selling to one another, then technically every person becomes a business. In this reality, marketplaces cannot rely on KYB and KYC in the traditional sense. Instead, they must adopt more dynamic and flexible identity verification processes that can accommodate the diverse nature of their users. This involves leveraging advanced technologies like AI and machine learning to continuously monitor transactions and behaviors, ensuring that both buyers and sellers are legitimate and trustworthy.

Moderation Design Frameworks for Online-Offline Platforms

- Sasha Mathew, Head of Policy, Bumble
- Charlie Nevill, Head of Strategy and Enablement, Bumble

Online-offline platforms vary vastly in their design, user base, business models and affordance sets. As such, there is less industry convergence on a baseline approach to making foundational moderation decisions for platforms that facilitate online and offline contact amongst their users. This panel seeks to highlight some of these threshold questions for a moderation team at an online-offline platform, and throw light on best practice approaches to decision-making in these areas from a range of platforms across the industry. Some themes the panel will explore: designing a harm assessment framework that effectively accounts for the dimensions of offline harms, building a taxonomy of offline harms, assessing evidence and evaluating competing claims, building a strong ecosystem of local partners, in-the-moment crisis response and evaluating the felt experience of safety interventions.

The Online Marketplace of Financial Sextortion

- Avi Jager, Director of Child Safety & Human Exploitation, ActiveFence
- Pearlé Nwaezeigwe, Trust and Safety Consultant

Sextortion has surged by 18,000% since 2021, driven by an underground marketplace managed by groups like the Yahoo Boys. This hidden economy fuels sextortion by trading hacked nudes, scamming scripts, and fake social media profiles, making it a significant blind spot in platform security. Few recognize the full scope of this marketplace, which especially targets minors. This proposal focuses on the overlooked scale of these operations and advocates for a proactive, marketplace-driven strategy, targeting key transaction points to improve detection and collaboration across platforms to combat sextortion effectively.
