Tech Integrity Institute

Mission & Goals

We are engineers, product managers, researchers, analysts, data scientists, operations specialists, policy experts and more, with decades of combined experience across numerous platforms. We understand the systemic causes of problems on the social internet and how to mitigate them. We have seen (and built!) successful and unsuccessful solutions. We bring this experience and expertise directly to the people theorizing, building, and governing the social internet. We have a lot of work to do. Companies that own social media platforms can use bad design practices or fail to build responsibly, systematically rewarding bad behavior in ways that affect individual well-being, social trust, and the stability of governments and institutions. We advance the theory and practice of protecting the social internet, powered by our community of integrity professionals. Our vision: The social internet should help individuals, societies, and democracies thrive.
