Online Safety Policy Associate, Ofcom
2025
Jonathon is an Online Safety Policy Associate in Ofcom’s Online Safety Group, operating in their Hate, Terrorism, and Suicide team. Jonathon has studied politics, ideology, counter-terrorism, and the extreme right wing at the University of Exeter, the Australian National University, and Richmond, the American International University in London. Jonathon has been working at the nexus of tech and extremism for the last 4 years, with a particular focus on the contemporary misuse of AI-powered tech and gaming spaces by hateful and terroristic actors.
It is a tragic reality that hateful ideology has found fertile ground online and offline, with consequences affecting not only Americans but people around the world. We cannot stand idle in the face of bias, bigotry, and extremism. Together, at the Eradicate Hate Summit and beyond, the collective will of individuals and organizations is needed to galvanize all people of good will to protect and defend our communities.
