ABOUT US

Our Online Safety team’s superpower is their ability to identify strong campaign collaboration opportunities, quickly strategize, architect and execute impactful campaigns within an extremely short time span.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Social media companies are now the world’s most powerful entities and their unchecked power is devastating to children and families. They track children and sell their private information to third parties; expose kids to sexual predators, extremist beliefs, and disinformation; intentionally addict them; degrade their mental health and well-being; and delay critical physical skills like hand-eye coordination all while creating a permanent public record of personal information that can be accessed by anyone.
Worst of all? Silicon Valley knows exactly what they are doing (because $$$) and they will keep doing it until millions of concerned people working together fight back. That’s where you come in!
