Integrity Institute

The Integrity Institute is a think tank powered by a community of integrity professionals: tech workers who have on platform experience mitigating the harms that can occur on or be caused by the social internet.

We formed the Integrity Institute to advance the theory and practice of protecting the social internet.

We know the systemic causes of problems on the social internet and how to build platforms that mitigate or avoid them. We confronted issues such as misinformation, hate speech, election interference, and many more from the inside. We have seen successful and unsuccessful attempted solutions.

We believe in a social internet that helps individuals, societies, and democracies thrive.

Our community supports the public, policy makers, academics, journalists, and technology companies themselves as they try to understand best practices and solutions to the challenges posed by social media.

We do 3 big things: 

• Build the Community of Integrity Professionals: We have created a home for integrity professionals that connects to the public square.
• Develop and Enrich Community Knowledge: We create consensus among integrity professionals and conduct open research and writing
• Share Community Knowledge: We make the world more familiar with integrity issues and how to address them. We collaborate in depth with key stakeholders: companies, policy makers, academics, and nonprofits.
