Social Media Platforms Score Poorly on ADL Holocaust Denial Report Card

(Anti-Defamation League) Social media and online game platforms are failing to combat the proliferation of Holocaust denial content, according to a new report card issued by ADL. ADL rated 10 social media and game companies on their efforts to enforce rules and effectively respond to and remove content, memes and messages that deny the Holocaust or use conspiracy theories about it to spread antisemitic beliefs. Twitch and YouTube earned a C-plus. Facebook/Instagram, TikTok, Discord, Riot Games and Reddit earned a C-minus. Twitter and Activision Blizzard were issued a D-minus, and Epic Games placed last with an "F." "At a time when antisemitism is rising in the U.S. and globally, tech platforms bear considerable responsibility for serving as megaphones for Holocaust deniers," said Yael Eisenstat, Vice President of the ADL Center for Technology and Society.
