Majority of Antisemitic Social-Media Posts Reported by Jewish Communities Remain Online, Study Finds
The report says platforms removed just 19.5% of formally reported antisemitic posts, while Israel-related content had a 5.2% removal rate.
- On Wednesday, a World Jewish Congress study revealed that more than 80% of antisemitic social-media posts reported by European Jewish community members remain online, indicating reporting has little effect on removal.
- Conducted by the WJC's Technology and Human Rights Institute , the study analyzed 754 antisemitic posts collected between February 2025 and April 2026, finding that 613 remained accessible in May.
- TikTok removed 64% of examined content, far outpacing other major platforms; Facebook recorded a 76% user reporting rate but removed only 13.9% of flagged posts, while Israel-related antisemitism saw the lowest removal rate at 5.2 percent.
- "It is up to companies to enforce their policies," said Yfat Barak-Cheney, executive director of TecHRI, warning that inconsistent enforcement allows antisemitic hatred to spread unchecked across platforms.
- The WJC urged European regulators to use the Digital Services Act to hold platforms accountable, citing reported content including ISIS propaganda targeting synagogues in the United States and Europe.
