Who we are, and why this exists
A public-interest initiative of the Digital Safety & Accountability Foundation (Non-Profit). We exist because online platforms with significant adult-content surface area carry significant duty of care, and that duty is not currently independently measured.
What we are trying to change
A platform's safety claims should be measurable, comparable, and challengeable. Today they are mostly self-reported, mostly marketing, and mostly impossible for an affected user to cross-check.
Measurable
If we cannot evidence it, we do not publish it. Every score has a documented data point.
Comparable
Same rubric across all platforms. Differences in score reflect differences in behaviour.
Challengeable
Platforms can reply on the record. New evidence revises old scores. Nothing is final.
Useful
For policy, for procurement, for personal choice - users, regulators and procurement teams should each be able to act on it.
How we are funded - and what we refuse
Independence is structural, not a values statement.
Grants & public funding
Majority funding from philanthropic grants and public-interest funding bodies, with editorial-independence clauses.
Individual donations
Small individual donations; donor list anonymised below a published threshold.
Refused - platform funding
We do not accept funding from any platform we assess, or from any subsidiary, holding company, or director of one.
Refused - engagement contracts
No consulting, audit or paid-engagement contracts with platforms under review.
