Social Protect (Australia), TrollWall AI (Slovakia), and Cyberette (Netherlands) have signed the United Against Online Abuse Charter to join the fight against online abuse in global sport.
The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the global governing body for motor sport and the federation for mobility organisations worldwide, has announced an expansion of its United Against Online Abuse (UAOA) coalition, welcoming three distinct technology providers – Social Protect, TrollWall AI, and Cyberette – as official signatories of the UAOA Charter.
UAOA is thrilled to welcome these tech platforms which strengthen the coalition’s expertise and ability to detect threats, moderate content automatically, and protect users from targeted hate, harassment, and toxic behavior in online sports communities.
Online toxicity remains a persistent threat across professional and grassroots sport. By expanding its partner portfolio with technology innovators specialising in complementary domains, UAOA continues to build a unified defense mechanism to safeguard competitors, support staff, and supporters worldwide.
“Online abuse is one of the defining challenges facing sport today, and I am delighted to welcome Social Protect, TrollWall and Cyberette to our coalition as new charter signatories,” said H.E. Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the FIA and UAOA Founder. “Every new signatory to the United Against Online Abuse Charter strengthens our coalition that is aiming to ensure that athletes, officials, volunteers and fans can take part in sport without fear of abuse. The FIA is proud to stand alongside these organisations as we work together to confront this global issue.”
By formalising their commitment to the UAOA Charter, Social Protect, TrollWall AI, and Cyberette pledge to collaborate on shared data insights, policy frameworks, and advanced technological solutions tailored to modern digital communications.
“Online abuse in sport is bigger than any one platform, federation or technology business – it takes all of us. We’re proud to join the UAOA coalition and contribute what we’ve learned protecting athletes at the highest level to a mission we’ve been committed to since day one.” Shane Britten, CEO, Social Protect
“Online abuse in sport is something we see up close, through our hockey and football clients, every time a tournament heats up or a result goes wrong. Joining United Against Online Abuse means we’re not just building tools to hide toxic comments, we’re standing with an organization that’s trying to fix the problem at its root. Sport should be able to bring people together without turning its comment sections into a threat to the people playing it.” Tomas Halasz, CEO, TrollWall AI
“Fair play doesn’t stop at the whistle. It has to extend to how athletes are treated online, too. AI-generated images are increasingly being used to target people, including athletes. Joining United Against Online Abuse is an opportunity for us to help change that.” Julia Jakimenko, Founder & CEO, Cyberette
Together with the FIA and UAOA’s growing alliance of sports governing bodies, academic institutions, and governments, the new signatories reinforce a zero-tolerance standard against digital misconduct.
