The Worldwide Cricket Council (ICC) has launched a social media moderation instrument on the Ladies’s T20 World Cup to “shield the cricket neighborhood from poisonous content material” and create a safer and extra inclusive on-line atmosphere for gamers and followers.

The match will get underway in Sharjah on Thursday (October 3, 2024) with the ultimate slated in Dubai on October 20.

This AI-powered instrument, in collaboration with GoBubble, screens poisonous content material like hate speech and harassment throughout official and participant social media channels, aiming to guard psychological well being and foster a optimistic environment.

ICC head of digital, Finn Bradshaw mentioned: “We’re devoted to fostering a optimistic and inclusive atmosphere for all individuals and followers of the ICC Ladies’s T20 World Cup, it’s been nice to see so most of the gamers and groups embrace our new initiative.” Over 60 gamers have already opted in for the social media safety service.

South Africa’s Sinalo Jafta mentioned: “There’s nothing worse than opening up your cellphone after a loss — or after a victory — and no matter what aspect you end up there’s all the time some degrading remark about your character.”

“That safety for me may be very massive as a result of gamers get to share their life with the world with out the worry of being judged or criticised,” she added.
