With a strong commitment to digital accountability, Navaroli previously held senior roles at Twitter and Twitch, helping shape policies balancing safety, free expression and social power. She testified before Congress in 2022 and 2023 as a whistleblower on ignored warnings before January 6 and the decision to suspend former President Donald Trump from Twitter.
She has also shared her expertise in high-profile public forums, including a February 2024 panel hosted by the Tow Center and The Signals Network at the Brown Institute for Media Innovation on how journalists can better support whistleblowers in tech as sources in accountability reporting. That same year, she was featured as an expert in Hacking Hate, a Tribeca-premiered documentary investigating online extremism and the role of platform governance that won Best Documentary Feature at the festival.
In recognition of her public service, advocacy and contributions to these critical conversations, Navaroli received the 2023 Ridenhour Truth-Telling Prize and Columbia Journalism School’s Alumni Courage Award.
Navaroli’s research and advocacy span leading institutions. As a 2022–23 Practitioner Fellow at Stanford’s Digital Civil Society Lab, she studied the psychological toll on Black Trust and Safety workers moderating harmful content, producing research published in Columbia Journalism Review. As a 2024-2025 McGurn Senior Fellow for Media Integrity at the University of Florida’s Consortium on Trust in Media and Technology, Navaroli developed and workshopped a new technology policy curriculum.
Before Stanford, she led technology accountability efforts at Color of Change, conducting the first civil rights audit of a major tech platform, and contributed to early discussions on AI bias at Data and Society Research Institute.
A leading voice on digital rights, Navaroli returns to CJS amid urgent global debates on free speech, platform power and press freedom.
