We are committed to advancing trust and safety in the federated web. Together, with the continued support of our community and partners, we will build on the foundations laid in 2024 to create safer, more inclusive online spaces.

To support our global community, we are translating our shared labels and definitions into multiple languages. We welcome any and all input in this collaborative effort, submit a few translations today: https://crowdin.com/project/dtsp !

Recognising the emotional toll of moderation, we will adopt and adapt resources to support moderators dealing with traumatic content. We aim to offer comprehensive guidance on various regulatory frameworks, including the UK Online Safety Act, to assist administrators and moderators in building toward compliance.

Our comprehensive #Moderator Handbook is in the final stages of editing and will soon be available as a valuable resource for both new and experienced moderators. We plan to introduce hash and match services to identify and manage non-consensual intimate imagery and terrorist and violent extremist content, using platforms like StopNCII and GIFCT.

You can track our in-progress and planned activities on our [Activity Tracker page: https://connect.iftas.org/library/iftas-documentation/iftas-activity-board/ .
