Lessons in building a safe platform from scratch

It’s our last podcast of the year! Thank you all for joining my journey in starting this podcast. As a reminder, I’ll take some time off before restarting episodes in 2024. Don't forget to fill out this short form if you have ideas for what you’d like to see.This week’s fun trade-off is:For our last guest of 2023, I’m welcoming Sarah Oh to the podcast.Sarah is a human rights expert and tech executive who has worked at Meta, Twitter, and, most recently, Pebble. Pebble worked a lot like Twitter, but one thing Sarah and the other co-founders were adamant about was building the platform with a human-rights and safety-first approach. While Pebble did shut down a few weeks ago (the success of Threads really hurt their ability to grow and get funding), there are a lot of lessons to be learned from their experiences. Sarah’s co-founder, Gabor Cselle, covered some of his lessons learned in this Medium post, and Sarah talks about what she learned in the podcast.Enjoy! This is a public episode.
