Episode Notes

Having looked at the variety of ways in which online hate infects football discourse, we now turn our attention to what is being - and what should be - done about the issue.

Jonathan Sebire of Signify speaks to Colm  Kearns about how Signify’s Threat Matrix service is working to mitigate abuse against players, staff and referees.

Jonathan is then joined by his colleague, Jonathan Hirschler, Signify’s chief executive, and TOHIF’s Professor Theo Lynn for a wider discussion on the potential and limitations when it comes to technological solutions to this problem.
