ABSTRACT
Chamath Palihapitiya, a former senior executive at Facebook, sat back in his armchair and looked uncomfortably away from the audience at Stanford University in 2017, tapping his hand rhythmically on the armrest and looking down. He said he felt tremendous guilt for creating a “beast” that was destroying the fabric of society. Antisemitism on social media are posts, reels, vlogs, memes, GIFs, and emoji combinations that include hateful anti-Jewish speech and images on algorithmically curated platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. Antisemitism on social media is violence through verbal and visual discrimination and aggression. Social media has revolutionized the generation and dissemination of the antisemitism. Algorithms seem to play an essential role in the mainstreaming of incendiary statements such as Holocaust denial and antisemitic hate on social media platforms.
