Trust and Safety Tuesdays

Exciting news arrives at Second Life with the return of the Trust and Security team. After a brief hiatus, the new and improved team is moving to increase its visibility and availability to the Second Life community. This "return to origins" is the result of many residents who have expressed themselves and shared their interest in discussing topics of trust and security since the last Governance meetings in 2024.

Overview of the Upcoming Trust and Security Projects

Great news is on its way to Second Life with the return of Trust and Security. Future projects include:

• Regular blog posts for important updates
• Monthly meetings of the Trust and Security User Group
• A new office of trust and security within the virtual world!

Publications on the Trust and Security Blog

The Trust and Security team will start to launch regular publications on the Community Blog to keep residents informed and educated on various topics. These blogs will include:

• Account security practices
• Tips and tricks
• Useful guides

If there are suggestions for topics that residents would like to learn more, participation in the Trust and Security User Group meetings is encouraged!

Meetings of the Trust and Security User Group

From June 16, 2026, the Trust and Security team will hold monthly meetings within the virtual world, every third Tuesday of the month, from 11:00 to 12:00 (SLT). These meetings will take place in https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Linden%20Estate%20Services/254/254/28.

At the first meeting, Trust and Security Agent Melody Linden will be accompanied by team supervisor Alabaster Linden and another special guest. Residents who are eager to learn about topics related to Trust and Security, who have questions for the team or who wish to meet some agents, are invited to participate!

In addition, to celebrate the re-appearance of Trust and Security in the virtual world, the team will also open a new office space for residents to explore. The opening date of the new office will still be determined.

Expectations for User Group Meetings

With the introduction of these meetings in the virtual world, some expectations and guidelines need to be established. These expectations aim to ensure the security and privacy of all involved, minimizing the sharing of protected information. If there are questions or concerns about sensitive information, a Support Ticket is requested to be sent with these details.

The Trust and Security team will not be able to discuss the following topics:

• Abuse reports
• Account specific information (including terminations, suspensions, warnings, etc.)
• Internal procedures
• Interpretations of Terms of Service

Please note that this list is not exhaustive and that certain unlisted category questions may be rejected by the Trust and Security team. Everyone is grateful for their understanding of the need for these guidelines and we hope to answer as many questions as possible. The team is looking forward to seeing residents in the virtual world!
