DESCRIPTION:Trust is the 'pithy matter' of social and political order. Or 
 so much contemporary theory and research holds or implies. The ways that p
 eople interact\, observe others interacting\, perceive that others are int
 eracting\, and cede behaviour because of real or perceived consequences fo
 r breaking those assumptions is wrought through with notions and practices
  of 'trustworthiness'. Trust is\, then\, also a form of rule\, or\, if you
  prefer\, of subordination.\n\nThis paper examines how trust\, as a relati
 onal practice\, is both a) central to the rapid advancement of internet 2.
 0 platforms as capitalist firms\, and\, b) actively but quietly used to sh
 ape how people relate to each other.  I draw on ethnographic fieldwork wit
 h 'Trust and Safety' workers in the Bay Area to discuss some of the evolut
 ions and processes that matter\, and how these processes are increasingly 
 automated -but not always in straightforward ways.
