Holocaust Denial Sees New Dawn With Social Media

Vocativ discusses how a new Facebook-savvy generation is reviving old conspiracy theories that Jews invented the Holocaust. They spoke to our CEO Andre Oboler, who explained how “The alt-right and far-right have always been steeped in anti-Semitism, but with the election over the past months, we’ve seen that all inhibitions have faded away, people who were once afraid to come out are no longer.” They also cite our research, which finds that out of the tens of thousands of posts denying the Holocaust, Facebook has a 58 percent removal rate, compared with the 20 perecent for Twitter and 10 percent for YouTube.
