Communication has never been more important than it is right now. Here’s what we want to communicate today and all days:
Black Lives Matter
Please join us in solidarity with and remembrance of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, and the countless more whose names aren’t being said. 10% of all proceeds from Friday, June 12 through Sunday, June 14 go to the NAACP and the ACLU.
For more resources or to make a direct donation, click the links above. We encourage global members to research organizations in your area, too.
Paltalk is a platform for people of all races, from every walk of life. We endeavor to be a safe place of expression for all, but finding the balance between opposing beliefs isn’t always easy. We recognize that as a company, we have an opportunity to improve our practices, educate ourselves, and actively stand against racism.
We understand that a fundraising weekend is only a first step and that substantial, systemic change is also needed. That is why we are taking these additional actions:
– Increasing hours for our support team to address any reports of threatening, harassing, abusive, and hateful speech or images
– Reworking our Terms of Service to better define and protect against hate speech
– Retraining our support team within these updated Terms of Service and putting additional focus on care and service
– Matching all employee donations to the NAACP and the ACLU
Free speech is important to us. Hate speech is not.
If you have concerns about a member or group within our community and believe that their actions violate the Terms of Service, please submit a confidential complaint here. Thank you for your efforts, engagement, and support.
Sincerely,
Team Paltalk
