Majority of antisemitic social-media posts reported by Jewish communities remain online, study finds

A World Jewish Congress (WJC) study found that over 80% of antisemitic social-media posts reported by Jewish communities in Europe remained online between February 2025 and April 2026. Researchers from the WJC’s Technology and Human Rights Institute (TecHRI) examined 754 reported posts, noting that only 19.5% were removed, a rate similar to unflagged content. TikTok was an outlier, removing 64% of reviewed content, while other major platforms removed less than 15%.

• Israel-related antisemitism had the lowest removal rate at 5.2%, with no posts comparing Israeli policies to Nazi Germany being taken down.
• Of 232 posts containing direct calls to harm Jews, 151 remained online, including ISIS publications advocating attacks on Jewish communities.

Yfat Barak-Cheney, executive director of TecHRI, stated, "It is up to companies to enforce their policies and remove content when it violates existing standards designed to protect vulnerable communities." The WJC urged social-media companies to review their enforcement and publish data on reporting system effectiveness, and called on European regulators to use the Digital Services Act to scrutinize platforms' handling of antisemitic content.
