Julie Inman Grant is a former Microsoft leader turned Australia’s online censorship ('eSafety') Commissioner, a position she has held since 2017. The position is designed as a link in a collaboration between the big tech corporations and the government. The powers and reach of the position were drastically expanded in 2021, with several new laws against "online harm" and to "promote safer, more positive online experiences."[1]

She is an external contributor to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute[2] and is a member of the spooky Institute for Strategic Dialogue's Digital Policy Lab.[3]

In 2020, the World Economic Forum designated her as one of the #Agile50, the world’s most influential leaders revolutionizing government.[4] Inman Grant also chairs the Global Online Safety Regulators Network[5], and co-chairs the WEF's Global Coalition for Digital Safety.[6]

Career

Fresh out of university at the beginning of the 1990s, she was offered a position as a case agent with the CIA, but according to herself "turned down" that career path.[7]

She began her career in Washington DC, working in the US Congress before taking on a role at Microsoft. Grant worked for Microsoft for 17 years, working as one of the company’s first and longest-standing government relations professionals, ultimately in the role of Global Director for Safety & Privacy Policy and Outreach. She then moved to Twitter, where she "set up and drove the company’s policy, safety and philanthropy".[8][9]

Opinions

So, I think we’re going to have to think about a recalibration of a whole range of human rights that are playing out online, from freedom of speech to the freedom to – you know – be free from online violence…[10]

Commissioner

As Commissioner, Julie Grant is Chair of the Child Dignity Alliance’s Technical Working Group and Board Member of the WePROTECT Global Alliance.[8]
