In this first episode of On Side’s Online Safety in Sport series, we unpack what’s changing in the digital environment and what it means for sport at every level. Online spaces are now an integral part of sport connecting athletes, clubs and fans like never before. But alongside these opportunities comes a rapidly evolving set of risks. Our host Tim Gavel is joined by two leading experts working at the forefront of online safety and athlete protection. Dr Emma Kavanagh, a renowned researcher in athlete welfare and safe sport, shares insight into the drivers of online abuse, including the rise of harassment, impersonation and harmful behaviours targeting athletes. Commander Joanne Cameron, who leads the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation, brings a law enforcement perspective on emerging threats – particularly those impacting children and young people, including grooming, exploitation and the growing use of AI and deepfake technologies. Whether you’re an athlete, coach, administrator or parent, this episode offers critical insight into the online challenges facing sport and the steps we can take to create safer environments for everyone.Support the show: https://www.sportintegrity.gov.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Singer-Songwriter CMAT has posted a very honest piece online about her “deep sadness” over being body-shamed after BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend performance.Does more need to be done about online abuse?Joining Andrea to discuss is Melanie Finn, Entertainment Correspondent for the Irish Independent.

This time on PING I'm talking to Alban Kwan from the Trusted Notifier Network (TNN). I caught up with Alban at the APRICOT/APNIC61 meeting held recently in Jakarta, where Alban was attending the policy and governance sessions with a particular interest in the problem of online abuse mitigation. Alban is interested in bridging the gap between the business and technical communities in this problem space. When it comes to crafting a response, business tends to focus on brand integrity and the real world cost of mitigation when their products and services are abused, used for spam or fraud or suffer inbound attacks against them. The technical community tends to be focused on things like network traffic level views of problems, found in deep packet inspection, running honey nets, looking at firewall logs and in turn, tends to drive security activities in network technology. It's a very real cultural divide. We've discussed the more technical, packet-level distributed threats on previous episodes of ping. We've talked with Adli Wahid from APNIC and with Leslie Daigle from Global Cyber Alliance, discussing honey nets which present as low barrier attack targets and can measure the levels of abuse coming to unprotected websites and online services and help pinpoint where they come from. In addition, Leslie has raised her concern that we need a conversation in wider civil society about the governance issues to address this problem because technology alone can't solve what's clearly a societal problem. TNN is part of that civil society response to online abuse, albeit in a slightly different form, focussed on communication between the involved parties and a concept of a higher trust channel, a better signal-to-noise ratio which reduces real world cost and preserves business reputation. Alban has an interesting analytical model of how to think about the problem and I think it's interesting to look at his engagement with business process and how people build mutuality and trust dealing with abuse problems of any kind.

Hi out there, how goes it? My name is Nathan Robertson-Ball and welcome to the finding nature podcast. Today is a huge episode and one I've been excited to share with this audience for months. Nina Jankowicz is one of the world's leading authorities on disinformation and democratisation - and what a time to be having this conversation. Nina was recently in Australia and after having the privilege to speak with her for the first time in 2024 getting to do so again was a thrill.Nina's own career charts well beyond this moment of political, social, moral and cultural crisis we seem happy to slip further and further into. As a Fulbright Scholar her work and research focussed on how Russia organised and deployed mis and disinformation across many parts of Europe through the late 2000s and early 2010s, before undertaking a huge operation in the lead up to the 2016 US election. Her first book - How to Lose The Information War is both one of the best and worst books I've ever read - I no longer see the world the same way having read it - simply, it pierced the trust and confidence I had in what was real. And when everything could be fake to me, and when everything could be fake to you, and my truth is this and your truth is that, how do we do anything together? At a time when we're bombarded with the impacts of simultaneous crises occurring now, how are we meant to address any of them if none of us have a shared set of facts and a common understanding of reality? The answer - what's happening here and around the world every day.It's hard not to feel dispirited about a tonne of different issues and challenges right now. Both here in Australia where mainstream media institutions seem intent on platforming anti-reality and far right politicians on a daily basis, where protest has been met with unprecedented police violence, where coal mines keep getting approved, and to where a lot of this chat focuses - the USA, which is difficult to comprehend and sad to observe from afar.Nina is a valiant. Courageous and wise beyond her years. What she knows, we all need to know.Links to check out and support Nina's work:American Sunlight ProjectThe Wayfinder - Nina's SubstackAmerican Sunlight Project SubstackHow to Lose The Information War - Russia, Fake News, and the Future of ConflictHow to Be a Woman Online: Surviving Abuse and Harassment and How to Fight BackSupport for the show comes from:Reposit Power - get $500 off your installationAltiorem - get 25% off your annual subscription with code findingnature25Jamberoo Mountain Farm Tiny Home - get Hot Tub Sunset Package for free when you add Finding Nature to booking comments.Send me a messageThanks for listening.

Who would try to hire a hitman to kill an innocent young girl? In early 2021, Riley ended a relationship with a man she had been in a year-long online relationship with after she alleges he assaulted her. Despite the breakup, he continued to message her relentlessly. Instead of backing down, Scott escalated his feelings of anger, turning to the dark web. He paid $19,000 AUD to hire a hitman to kill her. The reality of the plot became clear when police knocked on the door of Riley’s family home. It was her mother, Jamie Elder, who answered, learning that someone had tried to arrange her daughter’s murder. Jamie is now Riley’s advocate, fighting for justice while the man accused of orchestrating the hit walks free. You can follow Jamie on TikTok and support her advocacy here.

What should tech companies be doing to prevent online abuse of women and girls? Ofcom's Chief Executive, Dame Melanie Dawes, joins Nuala McGovern to discuss their new guidance. It's urging tech firms to go much further to prevent the harm caused by misogynistic pile-ons, online stalking and intimate image abuse. They've also teamed up with Sport England to highlight the toll such abuse is taking on women in sport. Have you heard of rage rooms? Or even visited one? Turns out demand for them is surging, and 90% of the UK customers are women. Believed to have started in Japan in the early 2000s, rage rooms are places where people can smash up items such as electronics, white goods and crockery. Nuala is joined by Jennifer Cox, psychotherapist and author of Women are Angry: Why Your Rage is Hiding and How To Let It Out, and culture journalist Isobel Lewis who has visited a rage retreat.Isabelle Kyson, 17, is a national-level sprint hurdler and passionate advocate for girls in sport. Today, she releases her documentary, Out of the Race, on YouTube which explores why so many girls drop out of sport during puberty. Research shows that more than two-thirds of teenage girls quit sport by the age of 16 or 17—a trend Issey has been campaigning to change for some time, including lobbying government for action. She has also launched a new toolkit for schools, developed in partnership with the Association for Physical Education. Issey joins Nuala along with Kate Thornton-Bousfield, Chief Executive Officer of the Association for Physical Education.We discuss acting and AI as the actor Olivia Williams discusses why she wants actors to have more control over the data that is obtained from scans of their body. Many actors contracts now include a clause granting producers ownership of an actor's ‘likeness' across all platforms, forever. This can cover photos, drawings, figurines, and the full body scans captured with advanced technology. In a recent article in The Guardian, Olivia suggested that something similar to a 'nudity clause' should be added to contracts. She joins Nuala along with consultant solicitor, Kelsey Farish, who advises actors and performers on AI clauses. Presented by: Nuala McGovern Produced by: Sarah Jane Griffiths

It's claimed events such as Clare Pride are more important than ever for the LGBTQ+ community given a resurgence in online abuse. It comes as the fourth ever edition of this county's festival gets underway today. In 2023, over 250 people attended Clare's first ever Pride Parade and according to its organisers, the festival as a whole has grown from strength to strength since. This year, Quare Clare says its aiming to focus on involving more groups than ever before, and the week's events will kick off tonight with an inclusivity talk hosted by Shannon Toastmasters. Sporting events will also feature for the first time, including a soccer tournament hosted by Shannon Town FC and bike riders in conjunction with the Clare Sports Partnership. Quare Clare Secretary, Orla Vaughan says they want to create a safe space for as many people as possible regardless of gender or orientation. The main events take place on Saturday, with the Parade through Ennis town taking place at 12.30pm, followed by a family fun event and an evening after-party. According to Clare Pride's Event Manager, the importance of attending and participating have been crystallised, due to a surge in online abuse directed at the LGBTQ+ community. Karina Murray insists in-person events can go a long way towards helping.

Earlier this week, Green Party MP Benjamin Doyle (Ngāpuhi) resigned from Parliament. They cited concerns for their safety following receiving ‘hate, vitriol and threats of real-world violence.” Earlier this year, research found online threats of physical and sexual violence have caused Members of Parliament to feel ‘fearful, anxious and distressed.' Wire Host Caeden spoke to Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Canterbury, Cassandra Mudgway, about this issue and potential solutions.

A chilling snapshot of democracy under fire— a new report from Coimisiún na Meán has laid bare the scale of online abuse targeting election candidates in Ireland. From death threats to intimidation and smear campaigns, the findings reveal a disturbing trend: nearly half of local election hopefuls and a staggering six in ten general election candidates who took part in the study say they've faced threatening or offensive behaviour online. To discuss this further, Sally-Ann Barrett was joined by Amanda Major, who ran as an Ennis Independent local election candidate and received abuse online and Fianna Fáil Councillor David Griffin, who is active on social media.

Fiachra O' Cionnaith from RTÉ's political staff highlights the Coimisiún na Meán study that shows one in every five local election candidates were threatened with death or serious violence when they were running for office last year.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on a mixed report on online abuse of student athletes.

Revenge porn. Doxxing. Online harassment. All of these privacy violations go beyond just inconvenience or loss of money. They result in real emotional and sometimes physical harm for the victim. Until President Trump signed into law the “TAKE IT DOWN” Act in May 2025, legal protections were fragmented and outdated. How do you fight a virtual attacker? And how do you bring one to justice? Though laws are catching up, the gap between harm and remedy has never been wider, making it critical to rethink how privacy and safety are protected today.Carrie Goldberg, Victims' Rights Activist/Founding Attorney of C.A.

An Important Conversation with Barb Lewis  & Dawn Martin About Cyberbullying Episode 315 (Originally Aired As Episode 68)           Thank you for tuning in to this very important podcast about Cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is the use of technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. After having a conversation with Dawn Martin about my recent Bullying podcasts, she made me aware of the Be Best Initiative by First Lady Melania Trump. For those who do not know, due to lack of coverage, The United States 1st Lady Melania Trump started a program called “Be Best.” “The mission of BE BEST is to focus on some of the major issues facing children today, to encourage children to BE BEST in their paths, while also teaching them the importance of social, emotional, and physical health. BE BEST will concentrate on three main pillars: well-being, online safety, and opioid abuse.” (Quoted from https://www.whitehouse.gov/bebest/).             As Dawn and I talked she addressed the Cyberbullying portion of the Be Best Program and I immediately asked her to do a show with my wife and I. I encourage you to listen to the entire show and share it with everyone you know, especially Children, Teens, and even adults. Cyberbullying affects Millions around the world and needs to be addressed; we all need to be educated on the dangers of the internet and social media and the side effects that come with cyberbullying. Thanks for tuning in and I hope you will also leave some comments, testimonies and questions if you have any. Love You All, God Bless and be Safe.
