Israel-Gaza crisis: X fails to remove 98% of posts reported by the CCDH for hate and extremism
Posted on November 14, 2023 in Press releases.
Imran Ahmed, CEO and founder of the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), said:
“After an unprecedented terrorist atrocity against Jews in Israel, and the subsequent armed conflict between Israel and Hamas, hate actors have leapt at the chance to hijack social media platforms to broadcast their bigotry and mobilize real-world violence against Jews and Muslims, heaping even more pain into the world.

Online hate
Social Media platforms have become safe spaces for abuse and harmful content, making them potentially hostile environments for normal users. Hate not only denies those being abused the ability to freely express themselves online, it can lead to substantial direct offline harm and violence.

Major social media platforms fail to take down more than 80% of anti-Semitic posts on their platforms, a new report claims.
The Center for Countering Digital Hatred (CCDH) said it reported more than 700 posts containing “anti-Jewish hatred”, which had collectively been viewed 7.3 million times.
The research covered Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube.
Facebook was the worst performer, CCDH said, failing to act on 89% of posts.
In its report, called “Failure to Act”, CCDH accused several of the tech giants of being “safe places to spread racism and propaganda against Jews”.

The anti-hate group that Elon Musk sued released a new report alleging inaction on racist tweets: ‘We will not be cowed by bullies’
The Center for Countering Digital Hate, the nonprofit group that Elon Musk sued earlier this year, released a new report on Tuesday alleging that X has systematically failed to remove anti-semitic, Anti-Palestinian and Anti-Muslim content from the platform formerly known as Twitter.
According to the group, 98% of 200 tweets that it flagged to X were still posted on the platform after two weeks. The CCDH report comes amid concerns of a surge in social media disinformation and hate speech related to the Israel-Hamas war.
The report suggests ongoing shortcomings in X’s content moderation capabilities just months after the CCDH released a similarly critical report about racist tweets on the platform—a move that resulted in a lawsuit from X.
“We will not be cowed by bullies and legal threats,” Imran Ahmed, chief executive officer of the nonprofit in charge of the studies, told Fortune.
