The policy and systems layer of platform safety the full taxonomy of what gets enforced, how severity is determined, and when a case goes beyond standard review into specialist escalation.
The full landscape of policy violations I enforced organised by category. Each type required a different assessment lens, threshold, and enforcement response.
Self-harm content required a three-tier assessment the same piece of content could warrant very different responses depending on intent, framing, and immediacy of risk.
Not every violation warrants the same response. Enforcement was graduated matched to the severity of the violation, account history, and platform context.
Most cases were handled directly. A small subset required escalation where severity, legal risk, or specialist knowledge exceeded standard review. Knowing when to escalate was as important as the decision itself.
