WHAT WE DO




MODERATOR COMMUNITY

Volunteer moderators are the backbone of the open social web, performing a vital
service with little to no support. Our community offers best practices,
documentation, wellness tools, shared stories, and more. Learn more.




TRUST & SAFETY SUPPORT

The social web can benefit from tried and trusted services used worldwide, but
these resources cost money. IFTAS offers help with legal and compliance issues,
cybersecurity, and useful apps and APIs to provide solutions for common
problems. Learn more.




MODERATION-AS-A-SERVICE

IFTAS plans to offer detection and reporting services, as well as denylist
management, spam account support, security and privacy tools and – if needed –
hands-on content moderation. Learn more.




FROM THE COMMUNITY

Our Moderator Needs Assessment drives our activities, read the latest report

> “It would be nice to have a centralized and effective CSAM reporting site.“
> 
> “need info and updates on current disinformation campaigns online“
> 
> “a basic modifiable template for a privacy policy … as well as best procedures
> for DMCA notices“

> “the shared blocklists are likely the big win – they aggregate the efforts of
> a large number of low-intensity moderators and thus concentrate a large amount
> of human judgment into a powerful resource“
> 
> “Tips for incorporating as a business“
> 
> “together we are stronger“
