Press Release
Edmonton, AB - Areto Labs, a technology company with a mission to make social media communities safer, is pleased to announce its partnership with Chris Mosier, an accomplished athlete, advocate, and public speaker. Mosier will join Areto Labs as an ambassador to help raise awareness about the impact of online abuse and work towards creating safer online communities for everyone.

"I am honored to partner with Areto Labs on this important day and work towards creating safer and more inclusive online spaces," said Mosier. "Trans Day of Visibility is about celebrating our community and recognizing the challenges that we still face. By partnering with Areto Labs, I hope to raise awareness about the impact of online abuse and hate speech and work towards creating a better future for all."

The company's industry leading technology uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect and prevent harmful content on social media platforms.
