Methodology

This metric assesses whether the company discloses in its modern slavery statement that it seeks to detect modern slavery on any social media platforms it owns or distributes.

For example, they have a dedicated team to actively monitor content for indicators of modern slavery; they use AI to detect modern-slavery related content; they have mechanisms for users to report modern slavery risks or incidents.

Select as many answer options as apply.

Select ‘in development’ when the company does not explicitly state that it actively detects risk, but instead uses terms like ‘investing in’ or ‘building’/‘in the process’ of adopting tools to detect risk.

Note: the core MSA risk assessment metric assesses whether the company discloses how it assesses the risk of slavery and trafficking in its supply chain. This metric is asking specifically whether the company discloses how it detects risks of modern slavery on the social media platform itself.

* Note on choosing the Year of your answer

Read the MSA Statement carefully to find out what year it covers.

When a statement is referring to a Financial Year (FY) ending in Q1 or early Q2, it should be labeled with the previous year. Example:

• Statement for FY2018/19 ending in April 2019 = 2018
• Statement for FY2018/19 ending in May 2019 (or later) = 2019

About

Companies must undertake efforts to detect instances of modern slavery that occur through the use of any social media platforms it owns or distributes. This enables the company to take targeted action against modern slavery and address risk factors to prevent future incidents. Efforts to detect modern slavery should consider the language and geographic spread of platform users.
