Driving the news: The Center for Countering Digital Hatred (CCDH) notes in its study that it reported 714 posts containing "anti-Jewish hatred" to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube and TikTok β€” which were collectively viewed 7.3 million times. These "clearly violated" company policies, according to the CCDH.
