Will Social Media Companies Monitor Anti-Semitic Hate Content?
(JNS) Ron Machol - It is refreshing to learn that the largest social-media companies have policies against hate speech on their popular platforms, and have taken it upon themselves to remove anti-LGBTQ, anti-Black and Islamophobic content when they become aware of it. Will they remove discriminatory and hateful anti-Semitic speech as well? As the frequency and levels of violence of anti-Semitic acts soar in the U.S. and throughout the world, we expect that social-media companies will do their part to remove this dangerous content from their platforms of their own volition.
