A Home for Hate: How Antisemitism Thrives on X

This 55-page report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate, produced with the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, examines how antisemitic content persists and spreads on X despite violating the platform's own hateful-conduct policies. Using AI-assisted analysis tools, researchers found that historical antisemitic conspiracy theories circulate openly on the platform, amplified by what the report characterizes as ineffective content moderation.

The study also documents monetization pathways, arguing that X's creator-revenue and engagement features allow accounts spreading antisemitic material to build audiences and generate income from that content, rather than being penalized or removed.

The authors conclude that unchecked antisemitism online carries real-world safety risks, including the potential to motivate violence against Jewish communities. They call on platforms to enforce their existing terms of service, urge reform of Section 230 liability protections in the United States, and recommend broader societal responses such as digital literacy programs and counter-extremism initiatives.
