Representatives from companies including Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok and X met on Thursday with US special envoy Deborah Lipstadt to monitor and combat antisemitism.Lipstadt requested that each company designate a policy team member to address the issue and conduct training for key personnel to identify antisemitism and publicly report trends in anti-Jewish content.
Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and X did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.Countries around the world have seen a rise in antisemitism following the October 7 attack by Hamas on southern Israel and subsequent bombardment of the Gaza Strip by the Israeli military.The companies have not yet agreed to voluntary moves, but the administration is hopeful they will act soon, Lipstadt told Bloomberg News.
