Month: July 2024

At Delmarva Power, our commitment to the communities we serve comes from our dedicated employees, many calling the company home for much of their career like Larry Rohm, an integral part of our Gas team for 37 years. Known for his dedication and willingness to share his knowledge, the lead mechanic operator has left a lasting impression on his colleagues.

Kristina Brennan, manager of Gas field operations, describes him as a dedicated mentor who believes in sharing experiences to facilitate smoother processes within the department.

“Amongst the team, Larry is the epitome of a team player,” Brennan notes. “He is always willing to share his experiences, believing that knowledge sharing is crucial for continued success.”

Rohm’s collaborative nature not only strengthens the bonds within the team, but also fosters an environment where everyone feels supported and valued. His commitment to teamwork extends beyond mere cooperation; it embodies a genuine desire to see his colleagues succeed, earning him admiration from employees across the company.

Sean Momot, Gas supervisor and Rohm’s manager, also acknowledges Rohm’s positive influence, praising his knowledge and attitude. “From the time I was in the union with him, until now as his supervisor, Larry has always displayed a positive and knowledgeable attitude.”

Serena Wilson-Archie, director of regional gas operations, reflected on Larry’s recent insight as well. “At the start of this year, Larry shared that he had one word for me, adaptability; being able to adjust to new conditions or capacity to be modified for a new use or purpose. In the moment, I believe that was pertaining to our team, however, I took that a little further and attached it to the natural gas business and how this current leadership regime, including him, can position Delmarva Power’s Gas division for continued advancement.”

Rohm’s commitment to excellence and his support for his team continue to define his legacy. His dedication to empowering others and fostering a learning environment has shaped the future of gas field operations and has a positive impact on the customers we serve.

“I’m happy I stayed here,” said Rohm. “There were quite a few years whenever someone came here, they never left. It’s a good place to work.”

Larry Rohm’s contributions will continue inspiring those fortunate enough to work alongside him.

Content Safety

We target harmful content while creating space for varying ideas.

At GoDaddy, we believe open communication, freedom of expression, and diversity of thought is paramount to empowering people to express their beliefs. We recognize, however, that this must be balanced with safe and responsible management to respond to harmful content properly.

Registries and registrars like GoDaddy act as real estate agents of the digital world, providing domain registration services to the public. If a domain name is registered at one location but hosted elsewhere, the registrar may lack the authority or capability to remove or edit the content hosted on a website. Therefore, we share responsibility to address and mitigate negative consequences that may arise from the misuse of digital technologies to foster a safe, open, and responsible internet for all.

Our Content Safety Philosophy 

GoDaddy’s Universal Terms of Service (UTOS) sets forth the terms and conditions governing the use of our sites, products, and services globally. It’s a violation of our policy to use our services to promote, encourage, or engage in violence or for any illegal activity, including, but not limited to the exploitation of children, the promotion of terrorism, the sale of prescription medicine without a valid prescription, and fraudulent activity. We address new challenges by stress-testing annually and reviewing our content safety policies.

For more information on our content safety philosophy, please review our Trust Center.

To earn the trust of our stakeholders, we take complaints and feedback seriously while building better products and services. Our dedicated Content Safety team reviews every submitted content complaint for possible violations of our UTOS or other content safety policies. If the team identifies a violation, it determines an appropriate response, which may include account suspension or termination or other actions as needed. Our Content Safety team processed nearly 10,000 complaint cases and responded within 46 hours, on average.1

Protecting Children in Digital Spaces

Since its inception in 2006, we’ve been a proud member of the Tech Coalition, a collaborative effort among industry leaders to prevent and eradicate online child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA). This coalition enables members across the industry to share knowledge and work together to protect children in the digital world. Through our deep involvement with the industry through organizations like the Tech Coalition, we developed industry standards for protecting children online and created and implemented state of the art software systems to combat CSEA on our platforms.

The fight against CSEA is far from over, but we’ll continue to collaborate with security companies, independent experts, law enforcement, and other government agencies to remove CSEA content, advance preventative technologies, and remain a leader in this space.

Ambitions for 2024 

While we remain committed to championing diverse perspectives, we intend to continue our focus on minimizing the harmful impacts of online content within the scope of our UTOS and other content safety policies. We will also continue to closely monitor new challenges in this evolving landscape and seek to continue building trust with stakeholders.
