The Digital Trust & Safety Partnership Welcomes Twitch

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Digital Trust & Safety Partnership (DTSP), a first-of-its-kind initiative aimed at promoting a safer and more trustworthy internet, today welcomed Twitch as its newest partner.

DTSP brings together a diverse range of innovative digital companies, representing various products, sizes and business models. Twitch joins the DTSP’s growing list of participating companies, which also includes Apple, Bitly, Discord, Google, LinkedIn, Meta Platforms, Inc., Microsoft, Pinterest, Reddit, TikTok, and Zoom.

The partnership is committed to developing industry best practices, reviewed through internal and independent third-party assessments, to ensure consumer safety and trust when using digital services.

DTSP launched in February 2021 to mature and professionalize the Trust and Safety field, in pursuit of a safer and more trustworthy internet. Since then we have:

  • released our first set of common Trust & Safety commitments, articulating the 35 Best Practices our members are using to keep consumers safe;
  • implemented a first round of Safe Assessments, evaluating the trust and safety practices of partner companies;
  • developed a Glossary of Trust & Safety Terms for public consultation;
  • participated in events with peer organizations across the United States, Europe, and Asia;
  • engaged extensively with experts from industry, governments and civil society.
