Moderators of the World Unite Social media as we know it depends on the work of tens of thousands of content moderators worldwide. Without this hidden army of key safety workers, there is no Facebook, no TikTok, no YouTube and no Google. They keep the internet safe for all of us. Despite their essential role, which comes at a terrible cost to their mental health, they remain underpaid and outsourced. That’s why we are proud to be co-hosting a landmark content moderator summit in Berlin. Learn more about the Summit Making cryptographic software flawless Aspiration focuses on supporting the advancement of software engineering practices such as Reproducible Builds and cryptography. Since 2016, we have proudly co-organized the HACS Workshop, and HACS 2023 took place in Toyko in a participatory environment intended to foster collaborations towards making cryptographic software flawless.

Aspiration, Digital Public, and Fenris are excited to announce the Data Leadership Cohort (DLC), an opportunity for these new leaders to meet, learn, and build connections with each other.

Power Dynamics and Inclusion in Virtual Meetings Raise your hand if you have ever been in a virtual meeting where: One or two people do all the talking; You don't feel safe or empowered to share your thoughts, ideas, or questions; You don't feel the value of what you or others have to contribute is acknowledged by everyone in the meeting, especially the hosts...Sound familiar?   We invite you to join us on a journey of learning toward addressing these dynamics Forging Careers in Human Rights Technology Having worked with and in support of information security practitioners in the human rights sector for over a decade, we have found that collaboration and cooperation are the backbone of this community of practice.
