What Thrive Does to Stop the Spread of Harmful Content Online
Preventing harmful content online through connected, real-time safety technology — and as a result, saving lives.
Signal-Based Detection
How Platforms Share Suicide and Self-Harm Violations
Thrive helps platforms share privacy-protected signals, not user data, through a unified system. As a result, members respond faster, collaborate more effectively, and help prevent suicide and self-harm.
Signal Detection
Content related to suicide or self-harm is identified on a platform through automated tools or human moderation.
Hash & Upload
Detected content is transformed into a secure hash, without sharing any personal data.
Signal Sharing
Thrive’s system distributes the hashed signal to member platforms for comparison against their data.
Thrive Match
If a match is found, the platform can act according to its policies — enabling faster intervention.
Thrive’s Core Capabilities for Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention
Preventing harmful content online, Thrive empowers platforms to share privacy-protected signals—not user data—to accelerate response, improve coordination, and stop suicide and self-harm across the internet.
Thrive enables platforms to share and act on self-harm signals—like image, text, or challenge-based content—using secure, non-identifiable hashes. By standardizing data and fostering collaboration, Thrive helps detect high-risk content faster, without compromising user privacy.
Thrive Connects
Each Platform Acts Independently Based on Shared Signals
Thrive addresses harmful content online by providing trusted, privacy-protected signal data that helps platforms make faster, smarter decisions without compromising autonomy.
We don’t moderate content or enforce policies. Instead, we connect independent platforms united by a shared mission: reducing harm and saving lives.
Thrive’s Key Principles
These principles guide how Thrive operates — fostering a secure, collaborative, and scalable response
to suicide and self-harm content across platforms.
Collaboration
Multiple technology companies work together to identify and mitigate suicide and self-harm content across platforms, creating a united front against this global safety challenge.
Unique Platform
A shared, secure technology platform allows members to upload, access, and review suicide and self-harm signals efficiently—ensuring faster detection and broader reach.
Autonomy
Each participating company retains full control over how it moderates content. Thrive supports independent decision-making and policy enforcement within a shared ecosystem
Standardization
Thrive uses standardized data formats, tags, and terminology to ensure content signals are clear, consistent, and actionable across all participating organizations.
Privacy
User safety and anonymity are core. Thrive never shares personal data—only hashed signals—ensuring privacy is protected at every step of the exchange.
Transparency
Preventing harmful content online is addressed more effectively when platforms understand how their contributions fit into the broader safety ecosystem.
