Anti-Semitism report criticizes social media giants for leading to “racist safe space”-Social-SNS Social Network

by admin

According to a new report, the five major social media platforms have made serious systemic errors in handling anti-Semitism, leading to the emergence of a “racist safe space.”The report stated that Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok failed to take action on 84% of posts that spread anti-Semitic hatred and propaganda through the platform’s official complaint system.

Researchers from the UK/US non-profit organization Center for Combating Digital Hatred (CCDH) flagged hundreds of anti-Semitism posts in six weeks earlier this year. These posts include Nazi, neo-Nazi and white supremacist content. Although each of these 714 posts clearly violated the platform’s policies, less than one-sixth of the posts were removed or deleted after being pointed out by the moderator.

The report found that these platforms have particularly poor actions against anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, including misinformation that links Jews to the pandemic. The denial of the Holocaust is also often out of control. 80% of the posts deny or downplay the fact that 6 million Jews were killed without any enforcement action.

The report pointed out that Facebook only took action on 10.9% of posts, even though it adopted tougher guidelines for anti-Semitism content last year. In November 2020, the company updated its hate speech policy to prohibit denying or distorting the content of the Holocaust.

然而,在研究人员向版主报告后,一篇宣传病毒文章的帖子声称大屠杀是一场骗局,并附有带有白人至上主义模因的奥斯威辛大门的伪造图像,但并未删除。相反,它被贴上了虚假信息的标签,CCHD说这导致它影响了数十万用户。Facebook自己的分析工具的统计数据显示,这篇文章在整个平台上收到了近25万个赞、分享和评论。

Twitter的执法行动率也很低,只删除了11%的帖子或账户,而且没有对#holohoax(大屠杀否认者经常使用)或#JewWorldOrder(用于宣传反犹太人的全球阴谋)等标签采取行动。Instagram也没有对反犹太主义的标签以及煽动对犹太人使用暴力的视频采取行动。

YouTube对21%的报告帖子采取了行动,而Instagram和TikTok对大约18%的帖子采取了行动。在TikTok这个深受青少年欢迎的应用程序上,反犹太主义经常以种族主义辱骂的形式直接发送给犹太用户,作为对其视频的评论。

这份题为 “保护不力 “的报告发现,该平台在向犹太用户发送反犹太主义评论的四个案例中,有三个没有采取行动。当TikTok采取行动时,它更经常地删除个别评论,而不是禁止发送评论的用户,仅在5%的案件中禁止发送直接反犹太主义虐待的账户。

研究人员确定的41个含有仇恨内容的视频,在平均6年的时间里共积累了350万次浏览量,但仍在YouTube上。

报告建议采取经济处罚措施,以激励更好地进行审核,并加强培训和支持。平台还应该删除专门用于反犹太主义的团体,并禁止直接向用户发送种族主义虐待的账户。

CCDH首席执行官Imran Ahmed表示,研究表明,在线虐待与算法或自动化无关,因为科技公司允许 “偏执者保持他们的账户开放,他们的仇恨留在网上”,即使在提醒人类版主之后。

他说,被他称为 “我们作为一个社会的连接方式 “的媒体已经成为 “种族主义者的安全空间”,使 “仇恨的言论正常化,而不必担心后果”。”这就是为什么社交媒体对犹太人越来越不安全的原因,就像它对女性、黑人、穆斯林、LGBT群体和许多其他群体一样,”他补充说。

Ahmed说,政府的在线安全法案于2019年首次起草,并于5月提交给议会,对该法案的考验是能否让平台执行自己的规则或自己面临后果。

“虽然我们在打击Facebook上的反犹太主义方面取得了进展,但我们的工作从未完成,”Facebook发言人Dani Lever说。Lever告诉《纽约时报》,该平台上的仇恨言论正在减少,她说,“鉴于世界各地反犹太主义的惊人增长,我们已经并将继续通过我们的政策采取重大行动”。

Twitter的一位发言人说,该公司谴责反犹太主义,并正在努力使该平台成为一个更安全的在线参与场所。该发言人说:“我们认识到还有很多事情要做,我们将继续倾听并在这些持续的努力中整合利益相关者的反馈。”

TikTok在一份声明中说,该公司谴责反犹太主义,不容忍仇恨言论,并主动删除违反其政策的账户和内容。该公司表示:“我们坚持不断地改进我们保护社区的方式。”

YouTube在一份声明中说,在过去几年里,该公司在删除仇恨言论方面 “取得了重大进展”。YouTube发言人说:“这项工作正在进行,我们感谢这种反馈。”

Facebook旗下的Instagram没有回应评论请求。
