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),
- Considerations for how to start an online child safety program,
- An introductory overview of hashing and matching for CSAM detection.
By signing up, you can also access the Tech Coalition Membership Development program. If your path is to ultimately apply for Tech Coalition membership, this program is for you. It is a great first step in setting the foundation of your company’s Trust & Safety program, built around industry best practices and criteria for Tech Coalition membership.
Pathways is only available to employees of technology companies. It is not open to vendor companies who do not host or provide access to content themselves.

Testimonials
“One of the tech industry’s top priorities should be combating the spread of OCSEA. This task can be extremely difficult for small moderation teams who review millions of pieces of content at scale. Collaborative initiatives, like those started by the Tech Coalition, are crucial for us to keep up with trends and increase our effectiveness. Building capacity for small companies in the industry helps protect the entire tech ecosystem. It’s a hard uphill battle, but if we all are sharing knowledge and best practices then it’s a battle we can win.”
“Keeping young people safe is a top priority at Rec Room. We are continually developing and innovating with new safety tools, policies and practices. This kind of child safety work requires expertise and investment and no company can do it alone. That’s why we’re so excited about the launch of Pathways — which will provide the entire tech industry — no matter how big or small — with better advice and resources to keep even more young people safe online.”
