Taking on content responsibility in Dublin.
Located in our European headquarters, GSEC Dublin is a regional hub for Google experts working to tackle the spread of illegal and harmful content and a place where we can share this work with policymakers, researchers and regulators.
Dublin is a hub for our Trust and Safety teams, including policy experts, specialists and analysts working to keep people safe online with the latest technology and artificial intelligence. These initiatives provide additional transparency into their work.
How YouTube Works
A look at our policies, products, and actions
Every day, millions of people come to YouTube to be informed, inspired or delighted. Over time, questions have come up about how YouTube works, so we've created this site to provide some answers – and to explain what we're doing to foster a responsible platform that the users, creators and artists who make up our community can rely on.
Child Safety tools
Fighting child abuse and exploitation online
Google is committed to fighting child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online and preventing our platforms from being used to spread this kind of content. We invest heavily in fighting child exploitation online and use our proprietary technology to deter, detect, and remove offences on our platforms. We also use our technical expertise to develop and share tools to help other organisations detect and remove CSAM from their platforms.
The Transparency Report
Sharing data on access to information
Since 2010, Google has regularly shared the Transparency Report to shed light on how the policies and actions of governments and corporations affect privacy, security and access to information. Our Transparency Report site includes data on content removal requests from governments, content delistings due to copyright, YouTube Community Guideline enforcement and political advertising on Google, among others.
The Google Safety Engineering Centre team is made up of hundreds of analysts, engineers, policy experts, researchers and other experts, all working toward building a better, safer Internet.
