With growing concern over the potential for online communities to promote misogyny, new research, commissioned by Ofcom, explores how men come to engage with the manosphere, the role it plays in their lives, and how it shapes their views and behaviour.
Following a public consultation earlier this year, the UK Safer Internet Centre (UKSIC) has now published the updated Appropriate Filtering and Monitoring Definitions for 2025. These definitions continue to support education settings and providers across the UK in understanding what should be considered ‘appropriate’ in the context of statutory safeguarding responsibilities—particularly in light of evolving technologies and updated government guidance.
Ofcom collaborated with Kick It Out, the anti-discrimination body in sport, to engage directly with people who have lived experience of online hate and abuse. They conducted seven individual interviews and nine group discussions. Participants included sportspeople, on-screen commentators, and professionals working in sport and broadcasting.

The fourth annual report from the national Domestic Homicide Project which works across England and Wales was published in March 2025. The report examines all deaths identified by police as domestic abuse related to improve understanding of risk indicators, victim, and perpetrator demographics.
