Julie Inman Grant is 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]
In 2020, the World Economic Forum designated her as one of the #Agile50, the world’s most influential leaders revolutionizing government.[2]
She is an external contributor to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute[3]
