ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an introduction to the research field of antisemitism on social media. It first outlines the role of social media’s technology and business model in amplifying antisemitic hate speech and then assesses existing counter-strategies such as hate detection through artificial intelligence, reporting and removal of antisemitic content, and counter-speech. After summarizing the small body of existing research that is focused on antisemitism on social media, the chapter identifies numerous research gaps, and highlights challenges researchers face. Overall, the chapter argues for a much-needed shift in antisemitism research toward social media content, and it concludes with concrete recommendations how to achieve it.
