The IOC say they have specialist teams to support athletes who are suffering abuse online
Transcript
00:00Yes, we are working very, very hard with all the platforms to make sure that when there are abuses
00:05and there is an AI system, as you referred to since Paris, that is taking down the abusive comments,
00:12there is unfortunately the balance between what we would deem inappropriate versus something that
00:17the social media platforms themselves can actually take down because of the different regulations
00:23within the platforms and countries. But the last thing I also want to highlight is that every time
00:29that we notice a case, regardless of if the social media platform cannot take the comment down,
00:35our safeguarding team that is exactly trained for this, they always reach out to the NOCs and to the
00:41athletes to make sure that that athletes gets the appropriate support from IEC as well, as well as
00:47we know that in all these cases the teams, of course, are also very supportive and the special
00:54people that are trained for these kind of cases within the National Federation and NOCs,
00:58they provide support. So, but we always actively engage to make sure if there is anything
01:03we can provide as IEC to support the athletes, we do that.
01:06We thank the Interest!
