TecHRI Leads HO:PE Training Session at World Union of Jewish Students Conference

External Relations Manager at the World Jewish Congress Technology and Human Rights Institute (TecHRI), Máté Holler, led a session at the World Union of Jewish Student's annual conference on confronting online antisemitism and understanding how digital hate is evolving in 2026. He explored how antisemitic content increasingly surges around geopolitical crises, elections, and polarizing news, spreads through memes and conspiracy narratives, and is amplified by generative AI, which enables more sophisticated and harder-to-detect propaganda.

The workshop also examined how tougher moderation on major platforms is pushing hate into encrypted and fringe online spaces, making it more radicalized and harder to monitor, and how new child-safety and age-verification laws may unintentionally drive young users into these riskier environments. Máté introduced HO:PE, TecHRI’s new reporting and tracking tool, showing how it helps communities document antisemitic content, engage with platforms and authorities, and improve transparency through real-world case studies.
