Philip Grindell, Founder and CEO of Defuse Global.

Digital Culture Change Podcast

Really excited to publish the interview that I did with ex-Metropolitan Police Detective, Philip Grindell MSc MSyl for the Digital Culture Change Podcast. After the tragic murder of the British MP Jo Cox, Philip was personally asked by Parliament to prevent such events happening again. He has since been dubbed the 'Online Bodyguard' by the UK press and founded Defuse Global as CEO to protect public figures from threats made against them on social media and by other means. You may have recently seen him on Sky News and ITV This Morning: https://bit.ly/3abXejs commenting on the death of Caroline Flack, the reality TV star. I went through a range of emotions as we discussed various topics such as the typical (but not exclusive) demographic of online trolls, the current cultural norms of acceptable online behaviour; working from home during lockdown; young girls exploited by gangs and how to report trolls. Thanks Philip.
