Jewish Leaders at Milken Conference Address Social Media's Role in Antisemitism Surge
At the Milken Institute Global Conference, Jewish leaders discussed the increasing role of social media in spreading antisemitism. The panel, moderated by Richard Sandler, included Ted Deutch, CEO of the American Jewish Committee, and other prominent figures. They highlighted the need for social media companies to enforce their own rules to combat antisemitic content. The discussion emphasized the synthetic nature of much of the antisemitism online, often propagated by bots and AI. The panelists called for a comprehensive societal approach to address the issue, involving government, educational institutions, and social media platforms.
