The Chicago Sky’s New Social Media Protection: How It Works and How It Came to Be

COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, JUL 19 – Chicago Sky use Moonshot's technology and human assessors to flag and report online threats, protecting players from stalking and personal information leaks.

  • Earlier this month, the Chicago Sky partnered with Moonshot to protect players from threats and hate, marking a first in the WNBA.
  • Alarmed by disproportionate targeting of women of color, Rawlinson reached out to Moonshot a few weeks ago, Rawlinson said.
  • Monitoring more than 25 social media and internet platforms, Moonshot’s system flags potential threats for review, and human threat assessors then review flagged content and report actionable threats to platforms or law enforcement.
  • Among players with vast followings, Angel Reese said the measure is “a great thing to implement right now,” noting its importance for women.
  • With nearly round-the-clock physical security in hotels, gyms, buses and planes, the Sky’s digital shield underscores broader implications for player safety.
