Our 2025 Trust & Safety Snapshot breaks down the biggest shifts in child safety, AI risks, regulatory changes, and election integrity. Get the expert insights driving decisions at leading tech companies.
In March 2024 we rolled out our first Trust & Safety Market Research Report. Since then, teams at top platforms have moved beyond pilot projects - building safety into core product flows and opening up community-driven toolkits like ROOST to power broader protections.
Teams now face a triple threat: rising political polarization fuels disinformation that can spill into real-world conflicts, while generative AI speeds up both defense and attack tactics. At the same time, as companies train ever-more powerful models, they’re leaning on local and cultural insights to keep AI-driven tools on track - and bad actors are already adapting to every innovation.
Against this backdrop, demand for Trust & Safety solutions is poised to nearly double from 2023 to 2028 as in-house teams buckle under staffing cuts. That gap is opening doors for software and specialist services across four core areas - child safety, shifting regulations, AI safeguards and election integrity - that will drive the conversation at TrustCon 2025.
This snapshot builds on our comprehensive 2024 Trust & Safety Market Research Report, which predicted the T&S software market would double by 2028. That analysis covered market sizing, vendor landscapes, and strategic frameworks still driving investment decisions today.
