The investment volumes in content moderation are pretty staggering: in the case of marketplace platforms with listings, that can reach more than a couple hundreds of millions of dollars each year. There are news of a certain social media platform that spent more than $15 billion dollars to fight fake news since 2016.

It is usual that bad actors fake their identity when opening an account in digital platforms if they want to post fake content and fake listings, in the case of marketplaces and social media.

I keep wondering: Why digital platforms and trust & safety teams keep focusing most of their resources and time in fighting bad content instead of finding and blocking bad actors?

They need to do it at the identity level, not at the account or content level.

Stopping bad actors would nip the evil in the bud and save millions of dollars in content moderation.

This challenge is no stranger to Trust & Safety professionals, but the bottom line is this: We have to be able to trust who we're meeting so we are safe, and to establish trust, we must know people are not faking their identity.

There is a better, natural and user-friendly way to establish trust in online users, that simply understands our unique behavior patterns to verify our online identities.

Location is probably one of the last things people would think could help verifying identity, when in fact, it is the most powerful technology you can use.

So let's talk about location as the key tool for online trust and safety.

André Ferraz, Incognia CEO and co-founder will speak about Trust & Safety, and its connection to location.
