LTR Interview – Simon Newman: Vision for Safer Online Dating

18 November 2025 // Written by Ann Austin

Back in June, our CEO, Simon Newman, was delighted to speak to Mark Brooks for Edition 43 of Love, Tech, Relationships (LTR).

Simon spoke about the role of the ODDA and how we represent our members in engaging with Governments and Regulators around the world on issues such as tackling fraud and online safety. He also set out our plans for the next 12 months and how we are raising the profile of some of the things our sector does to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable online dating experience.

A massive thank you to Mark for having us on LTR. You can watch the full recording here.
