Antisemitismo en Línea: Herramientas para la Sociedad Civil

The document provides a comprehensive framework for civil society organizations to address the rise of online antisemitism. It analyzes how digital platforms—including mainstream social media and 'alt-tech' sites—amplify hate speech, conspiracy theories, and Holocaust denial. The guide examines legislative approaches in Europe and North America, contrasting content-based regulations with systemic oversight. It concludes with actionable recommendations for civil society, focusing on policy advocacy, victim support, digital citizenship education, and the establishment of cross-community coalitions to increase resilience against extremist ideologies.

• Online antisemitism has increased in both volume and severity over the last decade, often adapting to current events such as the COVID-19 pandemic to integrate new conspiracy theories into an antisemitic worldview.
• Mainstream platforms like YouTube and TikTok are significant vectors for antisemitism; YouTube often amplifies conspiracy theories via recommendations, while TikTok has seen 17% of Holocaust-related content deny or distort the event as of 2022.
• 'Alt-tech' platforms, specifically Telegram, serve as 'safe spaces' for violent extremism and white supremacists due to a libertarian ethos and a lack of consistent content moderation.
• Antisemitism manifests across the ideological spectrum: the far-right uses classic tropes and Holocaust denial, while left-wing antisemitism often appears as conspiracy myths about 'Zionists' controlling institutions or applying double standards to Israel.
• There is a shift in digital regulation from 'content-based' approaches (notice-and-takedown) toward 'systemic' approaches that examine the underlying architecture and algorithms of platforms, such as the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) and the UK's Online Safety Bill.
• European countries have diverse legal frameworks: Germany uses the NetzDG to force the removal of 'manifestly unlawful' content within 24 hours, while France's 'Loi Avia' saw key provisions struck down by the Constitutional Council for infringing on freedom of expression.
• In Latin America, antisemitism is generally addressed through broader anti-discrimination frameworks rather than specific national plans, although Argentina has appointed a Representative in the Fight against Antisemitism and several countries have adopted the IHRA working definition.
• Civil society organizations (CSOs) are encouraged to move beyond ad-hoc engagement with platforms and instead advocate for 'normative transparency,' the adoption of the IHRA definition, and better data access for independent researchers.
• Education for digital citizenship is identified as a critical tool to build resilience, requiring the integration of media literacy and critical thinking into school curricula to help users identify and challenge antisemitic stereotypes.
