BRUSSELS — TikTok and the World Jewish Congress have announced today that they will be working together as part of the short-form video platform's commitment to remove antisemitic content from the platform.
In January, TikTok became one of the first platforms to announce that it would remove content that denies well-documented events, such as the Holocaust. The company took further action when, in October, it announced that it would increase measures to take down misinformation and hurtful ideologies about Jewish, Muslim, and other communities—including conspiracy myths about notable Jewish individuals and families commonly used as proxies to spread antisemitism.
After extensive engagement, as an indication of the company's comprehensive approach to addressing hateful content, TikTok laid out steps the company is undertaking to tackle antisemitism. These span all areas of the platform's work, from the moderation of content to supporting the creation and dissemination of educational information.
Over the past year, the World Jewish Congress has worked with TikTok to remove antisemitic hate speech and Holocaust denial, distortion, and trivialisation from the platform. Moving forward, TikTok and the WJC will also seek ways to amplify educational campaigns about issues such as the Holocaust and the impact that antisemitism has on communities worldwide.
