Nearly 4,000 reports were recorded regarding antisemitic content on seven social networks, but only 25 percent of them were removed after the report, according to the Movement for Combating Antisemitism on the Web to summarize the civil year. Online through hundreds of volunteers.
The report shows that in 2021, there were about 3,922 reports of antisemitic content on seven social networks surveyed: Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter, Telegram, YouTube, Facebook and VK. After the report.
The segmentation of the data shows that about 1,732 content was found on Twitter, of which 391 were removed (22.5%).
1,039 content was reported on Instagram, of which 329 (31.7%) were removed and 577 events were recorded on Facebook, and 133 were removed (23%).
It was also found that 114 content was found on YouTube, of which 28 (24.5%) were removed, and 101 content was detected in Tiktok, of which 35 (34.6%) were removed.
In the Russian social network VK, 359 were located and 88 (24.5%) were removed. In English, 13.8% in Russian, 13.1% in Arabic, 9.8% in Spanish, 2.4% in French and an additional 3% in other languages, and a total of 16 different languages were identified.
In the movement to combat anti-Semitism on the Internet, it is noted that there are differences between each of the networks, which affect the ability to search and monitor the content. Their monitoring is now done mainly manually by the movement's volunteers, which is another factor in the differences between the number of reported content in each network and in each language. Therefore, the organization is working on developing technologies that in the future will be able to decipher and locate the content in addition to manual search.
"We see that the policy of removing content is inconsistent and varies from network to network, and the response time of the networks is deficient," said Tomer Aldubi, chairman of the anti-Semitism movement on the network.
There are various networks like LinkedIn, Telegram and VK with which the connection does not exist or is very limited.
We recognize a phenomenon that more and more antisemitic activists are seeking to spread hatred and decay precisely in these places, which are less in the public eye.
We hope that in the new year we will be able to increase our activity in the networks, and call on anyone who can help us, join and volunteer so that the antisemitic content is removed "
