"Two Hat is a content moderation provider that’s helped keep harmful content off Xbox. It was founded by Chris Priebe, who was also a lead developer on safety and security elements for Club Penguin. Disney acquired Club Penguin, which grew to over 300 million users before being shut down in 2017.
Microsoft has been working with Two Hat for several years in order to improve its Xbox communities, but the terms of the deal were not disclosed."
“For the past few years, Microsoft and Two Hat have worked together to implement proactive moderation technology into gaming and non-gaming experiences to detect and remove harmful content before it ever reaches members of our communities,” says Dave McCarthy, head of Xbox product services. “Two Hat’s technology has helped to make global communities in Xbox, Minecraft and MSN safer for users.”
