Presenter

Rorke WilsonRorke Wilson

An associate at The Digital Law Company, Rorke Wilson offers a rare combination of academic rigor, generational insight, and frontline experience with young people and technology. They completed their LLB with Honours at the University of Edinburgh, where Wilson focused their research on the intersection of addictive behavior, legal systems, and the philosophy of free will. This foundation deeply informs their approach to the legal and psychological dimensions of digital life.

As a digital native and elder Gen Z, Wilson has an intuitive understanding of internet culture, platform mechanics, and the subtle ways in which social media shapes identity, relationships, and decision-making. They have worked with teenagers, schools, parents, and professionals to unpack the real risks of the digital world, including sextortion, cyberbullying, cancel culture, platform addiction, and privacy failures.

Working at the Digital Law Company, Wilson presents regularly to schools and corporates on the legal, reputational, and disciplinary risks of social media use. They advise companies on employment-related legal issues arising from online conduct, draft customized social media policies for schools and businesses, and advise individuals on how to navigate the variety of negative consequences that can come with digital citizenship.

Wilson has appeared in interviews widely across radio and television on issues of youth digital behavior, online safety, and platform ethics. Penguin Random House published their debut book, co-authored with Emma Sadleir, How Not to Mess Up Online: The Teenager’s Guide to Not Getting Catfished, Arrested, Sued, Cancelled or Addicted, in June 2025.
