1.17 million. 1,170,000. Big number, right? That’s how many abusive comments SocialProtect deleted for our partners and clients in 2024. That’s more than 3,000 per day. Almost 134 per hour. So on average about one comment every 30 seconds. These are comments containing racism, sexually harassing commentary, body shaming, antisemitism, cultural hatred, gambling-related abuse, offensive language, a huge range of scams and a lot of spam. And it’s all gone within a second of it being posted. Our final stat: our partners and clients saw an increase of 21% in the total number of comments received once SocialProtect was connected. Not a decrease. That means a safer, more civil comments section promotes more engagement from a wider range of the community. Join us in 2025 as we continue working towards online spaces where each user is empowered to protect themselves how they want without sharing their passwords. Welcome to SocialProtect!

We join our colleagues in the child online safety space calling for the Australian Government to take a breath and listen to those of us working on the frontlines of online abuse. Banning children from social media doesn’t solve the problem. It creates many, many more with potentially dire consequences: for example, the child who is being groomed or horrifically cyber bullied will feel like they can’t bring it up if they shouldn’t have been online anyway. More silence from actual and potential victims is the last thing we need. At SocialProtect we stand for individual empowerment and education, not blanket bans. Giving teens access to SocialProtect not only gives them guardrails that they can control to limit online abuse, it gives on-demand access to online safety and privacy education when they need it most. #empowerdontban

The target of the partnership is clear: ‘The combined offering is a natural fit for athletes, sports clubs and leagues around the world, but it’s young people we are most driven to help succeed. We’re at a point in time where youth mental health issues from cyberbullying and other online issues continues to rise and governments, teachers and families are at a loss on what to do. This is impacting everyone around the world who is online. Now, we are giving them an accessible, empowering and enabling set of tools and protections at the time they need it most,’ said Jones.   To find out more, visit https://www.peakstate.org/ and https://socialprotect.ai
