Resolver Trust & Safety

Two decades of change in what we call “threat”. 🔎 In 2005, the biggest concerns for online platforms looked very different from today. Over time, regulations have sharpened, expectations have risen, and what once sat in a grey area is now a clear threat. Our second blog in the “20 Years in Online Safety” series reflects how definitions of harm and responsibility have evolved, and how those changes have shaped our own journey at Resolver. 💡 From reactive moderation to proactive protection, each milestone has pushed us to rethink not just what safety means, but how it’s achieved. It’s a look back at how far we’ve come, and a reminder of how much further our industry still has to go. Danielle Williams, Lead Subject Matter Expert, Child Endangerment and Oliver Clements, Lead Risk Detection Engineer, dive into how online threats have changed over time, and how Resolver approaches our taxonomies.

Twenty years ago, online child protection looked very different. The threats were simpler, the platforms were fewer, and the pace of change was slower. Since then, the internet — and the risks facing children — have evolved beyond recognition. In the first article of our series “20 Years in Online Safety: Reflecting, Evolving, and Adapting,” George Vlasto and Henry Adams reflect on how Resolver has adapted to protect children in an ever-changing online landscape. From detecting grooming behavior in thousands of text messages in 2005, to developing machine learning tools that identify complex threat patterns today - this piece explores how technology, expertise, and collaboration have shaped our approach. The challenges may have changed, but our mission hasn't. We’re still here to help platforms, regulators, and policymakers stay one step ahead of those who seek to cause harm.

In 20 years, the threats children face online have evolved just as quickly as the technology itself. 💻 This week, we launch the first article in our “20 Years in Online Safety” series: “Two Decades of Protection: The Constant Evolution of Online Child Safety.” It's a retrospective from George Vlasto and Henry Adams on how far we’ve come, and why the work is far from over. Stay tuned for the full series as we reflect, evolve and adapt together. #Resolver20 #OnlineSafety #ChildProtection

📣 20 years ago, the internet looked very different. But one thing hasn’t changed: the need to protect children online. This November marks 20 years of Resolver’s work in online safety—two decades of evolving threats, new technologies, shifting regulations and global collaboration. To mark this milestone, we’re launching a special content series: “20 Years in Online Safety: Reflecting, Evolving, and Adapting”. 🛡️ Over the coming weeks, we’ll explore how online harms have changed, what we’ve learned along the way, and what the next 20 years will demand from platforms, regulators, and all of us working to keep children safe. Follow along for expert insights, untold stories, and lessons learned. 💡 #Resolver20 #OnlineSafety #ChildProtection

Concluding INHOPE 2025 🎤 The Summit concluded with a closing panel chaired by Robbert Hoving (Offlimits), where Resolver's George Vlasto joined Mick Moran (Irish Internet Hotline), Jacqueline Beauchere (Snap Inc.), and Elliot C. (Revontulet) to reflect on the two days of insights through the lens of current and emerging online trends. The panel discussions strongly underscored the need for continued collaboration and adaptability in an increasingly complex digital landscape. A key takeaway was the importance of driving greater attention and action among other sectors, particularly finance and technology, to address this global issue. We are delighted that George was able to contribute his deep expertise in trust and safety to these crucial conversations, reinforcing Resolver's commitment to leading the charge in creating a safer online world. #ChildSafety #INHOPE #TrustandSafety

Day one at the INHOPE Summit 2025 💡 Frances McAuley, our Director of Product, joined Juliet Shen (ROOST.tools), Tyler Hand (Block), Brian Herrick (Thorn) and Sean Litton on a panel discussion to tackle a crucial topic: leveraging AI and automation to identify perpetrators and map out extensive criminal networks. The group shared practical case studies, tools, and approaches for distinguishing offender types and uncovering complex, multi-jurisdictional operations. #TrustandSafety

We’re rounding off October in Slovenia at the EU DisinfoLab, 15-16 October🇸🇮 Disinformation is one of the most pressing Trust & Safety challenges of recent years.

Reach out to Richard S., Lead Subject Matter Expert, Mis/Disinformation, and Tom Hunter Johnston, Senior Account Executive to collaborate on solutions that protect truth and trust in the online world. #TrustandSafety #Disinformation #Resolver

Thank you Trust & Safety Professional Association for a fantastic APAC event 🇸🇬 Resolver's Ayush Verma delivered a critically important session - Navigating Truth: Mitigating Misinformation, Disinformation, and Violent Extremism in the India-Pakistan Crisis—Lessons for the Future of Trust & Safety in APAC. The case study, which dissected the information harms following the Pahalgam attack, served as a stark demonstration of how rapidly misinformation, disinformation, and extremist rhetoric can escalate geopolitical tensions. This session powerfully demonstrated that the future of Trust & Safety in APAC hinges on developing sophisticated, regionally aware defences against evolving forms of online harm. #TrustAndSafety #APAC #Misinformation #Disinformation #ViolentExtremism #TSPA
