  • Fascinating discussions

    I’m not in the trust and safety industry, but the discussion is easy to follow and interesting for anyone with an interest in the topic. I particularly appreciate Ben and Mike bringing in several women experts for a non-tech-bro perspective. Thanks for a great podcast.

  • Relevant, helpful, and amusing insights on trust & safety

    This is a fun weekly podcast with such interesting discussions. I look forward to the insights Ben and Mike bring to the stories of the week, as I always learn something. They’re both so knowledgeable about trust and safety, and understand the nuances of the industry, which is vital in ensuring their conversations are relevant. Keep up the good work!

  • informative, thoughtful and entertaining - highly recommend

    I’ve loved Mike’s work for many years, and more recently started following Ben’s writing. Both are crucial resources for anyone who loves tech policy issues, so I’m really happy they’ve taken their perspective to the podcast medium. The show does a great job of going both wide and deep in its analysis, and doing it all with a healthy dose of humour where possible. I also especially enjoyed their recent episode with the brilliant Daphne Keller.

    Keep up the great work!

  • Everything seems easy when you're not the one doing it

    Look at that plumber, I can do that. I then spend the next 8 hours on Youtube

    trying to figure out how to fix my toilet. Everything is like this. It's easy

    to sit back and judge something like content moderation. It all

    seems so simple: These folks are good and these other folks are bad. But when

    you dig into the weeds of it all you find that there is a lot of nuance to

    consider and nothing is that simple.

  • First rate!

    I appreciate the podcast’s consistently thoughtful analysis, and the consistent coverage of global topics. Some other podcasts on online content moderation are too “musky” with endless stories about X, this one covers more platforms, more countries and more thorny problems that need resolution.
