Interactive Live Platform – We offer alerts to the state of online antisemitism as it unfolds including visualized and searchable data, updates on the status of reported posts, and trending antisemitic campaigns. Most organizations offering analysis only look at short term data sets collected over a set period of time. We see the full picture.

Our public database is a cloud-based platform that is sustained by our back end, which relies on five core disciplines: big data management, open-source intelligence, machine learning analysis, data collection and dictionary development.

These disciplines and corresponding technologies allow our dedicated team of open-source intelligence professionals, with specialized antisemitism training and expertise in digital community policies, to monitor, identify and vet examples of online antisemitism across social media platforms in multiple languages.

Once the examples are vetted they are uploaded and organized onto our live website that is searchable, filterable and accessible to the public.

We currently collect content from five social media platforms – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok. This includes text, hashtags, images, and videos. We aim to expand into gaming and chat platforms, such as Discord and Telegram, in the future. 

We only collect data that is accessible to the public. However, a significant amount of antisemitic posts are public, as those who create and share this content deliberately aim for their messages of hate to spread virally. Our goal is to drive enforcement and improvement of social media policies and community standards, which we achieve through the collection and analysis of public content to identify patterns and offer evidence-driven, comprehensive, and effective policy updates. 

We actively monitor across platforms in both English and Arabic. Resources permitting, we have the capacity and technological ability to quickly expand into Spanish, French, German, and Italian, with Farsi, Russian, and Turkish as our stretch goals.

We rely on the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism to identify online Jew-hatred.  All of our content is categorized according to one of the 11 distinct examples of the definition, indicated on our platform and reflected in our data analysis.

Additionally, we identify which flagged antisemitic content violates the digital policies and community standards of the social media platforms which host the content in order to drive enforcement and compliance.

The IHRA working definition of antisemitism is the most-widely recognized international-grade definition of Jew hatred. It has been adopted or recognized by 40 countries and has received support from the United Nations and the European Union, among other official bodies. Furthermore, over 1,000 institutions around the globe use this definition when defining, addressing, or referring to antisemitism.
