In this candid conversation, Yoel Roth, VP at Match Group and Twitter alum, shares his personal and professional evolution in Trust & Safety. Host John Starr, Thorn’s VP of Strategic Impact, asks Roth to reflect on his interests in the early internet days and lessons learned while shaping the safety landscape of today's biggest platforms. Discover how a curious grad student became a pivotal figure in online protection, and learn why Roth believes we need to shift from reactive moderation to proactive safety by design. 

Yoel brings a fresh perspective to hard questions about what we can do better as a field and gives his take on why the perception of T&S as the "internet janitors" just cleaning up the bad stuff needs a serious update.
