Beyond

We supported projects and collaborated with initiatives that enabled society to better understand the challenges of today’s emerging technologies in the information environment.

Empowering society

We supported civil-society projects that discuss challenges of technology in today’s information society.

In 2017, we supported the artist Annette Schmid. Her installation featured autonomously moving robots that vocalized bot tweets, prompting visitors to consider the increasingly tangible nature of digital interactions from platforms like Twitter.

Empowering the community

We joined the Stanford Internet Observatory‘s Trust & Safety Teaching Consortium – a loosely-organized coalition of academic, industry and non-profit experts. Over 8 months, the consortium created the very first open-source syllabus on trust & safety.

The teaching materials launched on May 24, 2023 and are available on GitHub for everyone who prepares the next generation of trust & safety professionals, engineers and PMs.

Empowering journalism

We developed partnerships and collaborated with journalists and news organizations who fight mis- and disinformation.

Prior to the 2017 federal elections in Germany, we supported a fact checking team #Wahlcheck17, together with Google News Lab, First Draft, Meta and dpa.
