Help us Distribute our New Interactive Internet Report: "Facebook, YouTube +" to Those Who Need it Most For over a decade, the Simon Wiesenthal Center has been on the forefront in tracking online digital terror and hate.
Our annual interactive reports documenting the “who’s who” of digital hate have become a “must” for Hate Crimes Units, Homeland Security, National Law Enforcement, Intelligence Agencies in North America and abroad, as well as educators and the media. Our newly released 11th report, Facebook, YouTube +: How Social Media Outlets Impact Digital Terrorism and Hate, also focuses on how the Internet’s dynamic new social networking services are being leveraged by extremists around the world. Social networking sites such as Facebook and YouTube have both seen a huge proliferation of extremist use with the greatest increase coming from overseas, particularly Europe and the Middle East. And, with your help, we will continue meeting with and dialoguing with a spectrum of organizations including Facebook, who after meeting with SWC officials, pledged to both continue working with the Center and removing sites which violate their terms of usage, stating: "Many of the groups or pages that were shown to us by the Simon Wiesenthal Center earlier this year as part of their study had already been removed under Facebook's rules. We are committed to continuing this practice and to working with those who fight hate like the Simon Wiesenthal Center." Read more news about the new interactive report in: |
