Rec Room is thrilled about the Tech Coalition's launch of Pathways. This new initiative will provide the entire tech industry, big and small, with guidance and resources for safeguarding young people online. Trust and safety experts - discover how Pathways can be a valuable asset to your organization.
Exciting news for tech Trust and Safety professionals: Introducing Pathways! Today the Tech Coalition launched Pathways: expert advice, resources and learning opportunities for the tech industry to further build capacity to combat online child sexual exploitation and abuse (OCSEA). This program is available to all tech industry employees, not just Tech Coalition members, to facilitate and promote knowledge sharing of basic trust and safety practices that can be used to fight OCSEA and help protect young people online. Pathways provides access to a resource hub, invitations to discussions with experts on child safety topics, the ability to license child safety technology, and more. The Pathways resource hub currently includes expert guides on topics, such as: How to write External Standards that prohibit OCSEA, which typically include Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, How to draft child safety Content Policies, How to report child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or OCSEA to the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). Over time, additional resources will be added to the hub and discussion topics will be announced. Pathways also provides access to the Tech Coalition Membership Development program, which can be a first step in setting the foundation of a comprehensive trust and safety program, built around industry best practices and criteria for Tech Coalition membership. The membership development program will launch later this year. We look forward to helping you choose your pathway. Visit https://lnkd.in/eFQf-ZwV to sign up! #trustandsafety #childsafety

Our CEO and Co-Founder, Nick Fajt, spoke with Madrona on what inspired the creation of Rec Room: "As far back as I remember, I wanted to build games. That’s true of all of Rec Room’s founders and most of our employees. Millions of kids have that same dream today... But it’s a difficult one to bring to reality. With Rec Room, we wanted to make that process easy... If you could play games, you could build games... You could publish it everywhere without any fuss or delay. It’s the toolset that so many of our employees wished we had access to earlier in our careers. Without any special knowledge or tools, you could build a game and publish it on game consoles, mobile devices and VR headsets." https://lnkd.in/gFhE4DMQ

Rec Room reposted this
It's a small world.. I was catching up with my amazing friend Julia Ivanova, PhD & learned that her team used #RecRoom for team-building as they worked on a grant-funded mental health VR project* 👏 So, once again, "games" like Rec Room are NOT just games. They are a place for brilliant minds to work & brainstorm together 🎓 🌟 ⚕ A bit more context: It's been a while since we properly chatted with Julia, so JUST today we both realized our careers are linked to Virtual Reality. She mentioned that her research team built a VR space for Exposure Therapy that got nominated in the Webby's; I told her that I work at this company called Rec Room & started explaining what that is...... but she already knew. 😆 Their fully remote team actually met up in Rec Room monthly & used experiences in our virtual world for inspiration as they worked on their fascinating project. Mind-blown! *See more about their awesome work here btw: https://lnkd.in/g23MzWZC
