How we protect and secure our platform in the us

As we continue to act on our commitment to the security of our platform, we’re creating a Trust & Safety team within US Data Security (USDS) to build further trust and confidence in the protection of US user data and compliance. The newly created USDS Trust and Safety team will work on compliance, safety strategies, and moderation for content involving US users’ private data. Our Global Trust and Safety team will continue to develop global safety policies for the platform and oversee the moderation of content that does not involve US users’ private data globally. Content policies and strategies developed by our global team will be reviewed and approved by USDS to ensure compliance with protocols being developed with the U.S. Government.
