Mozilla commends Slack for taking a crucial step forward in implementing a safety feature that allows individuals to disengage from unsafe situations on the platform. This feature is particularly important in combating harassment and ensuring the well-being of users, especially those with marginalized identities. In collaboration with Fight for the Future, Mozilla launched petitions urging Slack to introduce a blocking feature, which garnered a significant number of signatures. While the introduction of the feature is a positive development, it is vital for Slack to involve stakeholders and ensure its availability in all countries. Mozilla and other organizations also continue to urge Slack to engage with experts and advocates to address concerns and enhance user safety.
