Inspired Internet Pledge

Pinterest is the founding signatory of the Inspired Internet Pledge. The pledge is a call to action for technology companies and the broader digital ecosystem to unite through a common goal: make the internet a safer and healthier place for everyone, especially young people. In 2024, we continued to focus on positivity and inspiration through our product, thought leadership, policy and strategic giving.
