“Bodyguard’s QR Code Technology Provides Account Protection for Players at Roland Garros 2023 Tournament”

The application works on the principle of a QR code, provided by Bodyguard, which players must flash in order to connect their social networks: Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok and Discord. The technology then offers account protection. As soon as the connection is established, they no longer receive derogatory comments, it is an AI that performs moderation in real time. The objective: to let nothing pass, while being sure not to censor anything.

Bodyguard and the FFT will be in permanent contact to ensure the protection of the players throughout the tournament, and even afterwards. For example, the company may be able to provide daily reports to organizers and “the extracts of the messages and ID of the authors during a legal action”can we read on Roland Garros website. “It’s great for the mental well-being of the players. It clears the mind. Everyone will be able to present themselves more freely on the court. I can’t wait to see how the players feel”, welcomed the director of the Parisian Grand Slam, Amélie Mauresmo, in an interview, still on the tournament site.
