Address Balance of Privacy and Safety: Share best practices on addressing the growing tension between privacy and safety as harmful content on encrypted channels risks evading detection3. Market Competition: Drive better alignment between regulations focused on safety and competition to foster market innovation and enable consumer choice4.

Definitional Alignment: Support work on consistent definitions for content categories, such as self-harm and cyber-bullying to enable standardized enforcement, reporting, and measurement across regionsHacks/Hackers supports the Coalition with this work.
