Administrators of popular pro-Palestine groups are spreading antisemitic hate on Facebook and parent company Meta isn’t doing enough to stop them.
That’s the finding of a new study from the Center for Countering Digital Hate.
Tests run by researchers in 10 Facebook groups with a combined 300,000 members found that the majority – 76% – of anti-Jewish hate speech was ignored by administrators and 91% of accounts posting anti-Jewish hate were not removed.
When researchers reported antisemitic posts to Facebook, moderators did not take any action in 99% of the cases.
