I find this article deeply disturbing. It's a highly partisan non-profit, and the newspaper takes its word for everything and parrots the lines.

"Although each of the 714 posts clearly violated the platforms’ policies, fewer than one in six were removed or had the associated accounts deleted after being pointed out to moderators."

I am also HIGHLY HIGHLY suspicious of what is considered hate speech, especially when it comes to Israel/Jews.

I do however like the strategy of outsourcing defense of the study to the Jewish lobby. Brilliant. If I attack the study and attempt to say any of the speech is not hate speech, the ADL can take over defense of the study.

I consider this group, and this article just another arm of the Leftist dark money conservative bludgeoning apparatus.

Why is there no comparison to the rate of removal of hateful posts targeting other groups? Websites that document only violence against whites, and ignoring other groups, are rightly condemned as racist. But when the Center for Countering Digital Hate does something equivalent, they're presented as a neutral, trustworthy party.
And that's even before evaluating what they consider to be hate speech, and speech that violates platform rules.

Since Israelis and pro-zionists have a bad habit of calling every legitimate criticism and boycott of Israel "antisemitic", I and many others suspect these numbers of incidents are inflated due to willful miscategorization.

It seems like an effort is being made to use 1000 social media posts as a reason to create avenues to further shutdown legitimate criticisms.
