Episode Notes

Join Megan and Chase as we begin this two-part series on FIFA's newest report onto the activities of the Social Media Protection Service (SMPS) at the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023, and how its "innovative approach" reduced the amount of harmful content players, teams, officials, and other prominent stakeholders in the soccer industry saw online. We dive into the statistics on the number of comments analysed, the effectiveness of the protection, and the many kinds of harmful comments that were hidden.
