World Jewish Congress study finds most reported antisemitic posts remain online

A study by the World Jewish Congress (WJC) Technology and Human Rights Institute (TecHRI) found that over 80% of antisemitic social media posts reported by Jewish community members in Europe remained online. Researchers analyzed 754 posts reported between February 2025 and April 2026, finding that 81.2% were still accessible during follow-up checks in May.

The report indicates that formal reporting had minimal impact on content removal. Platforms removed 19.5% of flagged posts, compared to 18.2% of non-reported posts. TikTok was noted as an exception, removing 64% of reviewed content, whereas other major platforms removed less than 15%. Facebook recorded the highest reporting rate at 76% but one of the lowest removal rates at 13.9%.

Specific categories of content showed particularly low removal rates, including Israel-related antisemitism at 5.2%. The study also noted that none of the 28 examined posts comparing Israeli policies to Nazi Germany were removed, and 151 out of 232 posts containing direct calls to harm Jews remained accessible.
