Report highlights benefits of investment in product features and unique approach to content moderation, creating a welcoming platform and a safer online experience
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Today, Nextdoor (NYSE: KIND) published its first annual Transparency Report, which reflects the values that define how Nextdoor brings its purpose to life — including earning trust every day.
Trust is paramount to how Nextdoor operates, as is the commitment to a transparent and inclusive culture. This is foundational to creating a welcoming platform that facilitates constructive neighborhood connections and conversations. This inaugural report provides insight into Nextdoor’s unique community moderation model, data on the speed that these community moderators removed reported content, and the Government requests received. The results are encouraging, and Nextdoor remains focused on cultivating a kinder world where everyone has a neighborhood they can rely on.
“Today marks an important milestone for Nextdoor, and we are committed to being open and transparent with our community. This report aligns with our purpose to cultivate a kinder world where everyone has a neighborhood they can rely on, and where Nextdoor is a welcoming platform for all our neighbors,” said Sarah Friar, CEO at Nextdoor. “We are pleased to see the positive impact product features, like our Kindness Reminder, have on our platform, and we will continue to provide our community with annual updates moving forward.”
Derrick Johnson, President and CEO, NAACP added, "Nextdoor’s continued work to ensure the platform is a welcoming place for all, through implementing innovative product features, new policies, and community guidelines, is a responsibility they take seriously. We welcome the release of this Transparency Report as another demonstration of living their purpose and showing their commitment to building an online experience that is inclusive of every neighbor.”
UK Digital Minister Chris Philp said, “It's great to see Nextdoor taking proactive steps to improve transparency. This shows tech platforms embracing the spirit of our groundbreaking new online laws before they come into force. We welcome this move to improve accountability. Building a culture of openness is at the heart of our new bill which will give Ofcom the power to verify independently the accuracy of companies' transparency reports.”
Marc Dunkelman, Fellow in International and Public Affairs, Brown University, noted, “So frequently left out of the equation when we think about tech is the quality of the relationships formed online — in too many cases they're shallow, temporary, and transactional. Nextdoor is proving that tech can be a gateway to healthier, more meaningful, longer-lasting real ties within a community.”
