The ICC has implemented a social media moderation tool for the Women’s T20 World Cup to “protect the cricket community from toxic content” and promote a safer and more inclusive online environment for players and fans. The competition begins on Thursday in Sharjah, and the final is scheduled for October 20 in Dubai. This AI-powered technology, developed in conjunction with GoBubble, monitors toxic content like as hate speech and harassment on official and player social media channels with the goal of protecting mental health and fostering a healthy environment.
Finn Bradshaw, the ICC digital director, stated: “We are dedicated to fostering a positive and inclusive environment for all participants and fans of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, it’s been great to see so many of the players and teams embrace our new initiative.” Over sixty players have already signed up for the social media protection program.
South Africa’s Sinalo Jafta said: “There is nothing worse than checking your phone after a loss – or a victory – and finding some derogatory comment about your personality, regardless of which team you are on.
“That protection for me is very big because players get to share their life with the world without the fear of being judged or criticised,” she informed us.
