Leading online #policy & #enforcement for 40 years. I left as head of Safety and Advocacy for #OkCupid after 9 years with #MatchGroup where I worked in T&S, data governance, legal compliance, DEI, realistic wellness, and ethics then became a #Whistleblower

Formerly worked in IT Security. Probably the world's first non-US-government hacker-catcher, head of commercial security for British Telecom, 2nd (and longest serving) #IRC Operator outside of Finland - And all that #MUD & #MIST stuff.
