Instagram's Algorithm Feeds Antisemitic Content to Millions, New CAM Research Finds
The Antisemitism Research Center found 100 posts reached up to 280 million users in 96 hours, with AI-generated accounts amplifying antisemitic propaganda on Instagram.
- On Wednesday, the Antisemitism Research Center of the Combat Antisemitism Movement released a report titled "Engineered Exposure," alleging Instagram's recommendation algorithm systematically pushes antisemitic material to millions of users.
- During a 96-hour monitoring period, researchers documented 100 antisemitic posts that generated over 5.3 million likes and 3.8 million shares, reaching an estimated 280 million users through Instagram's recommendation systems.
- Researchers identified 12 AI-generated "rabbis" with a combined following of 2.1 million Instagram users, all promoting classic antisemitic stereotypes about Jewish control of global finance and wealth.
- CAM CEO Sacha Roytman Dratwa called the findings evidence of "infrastructure that normalizes hatred at scale," as Meta faces mounting legal pressure from recent child safety and platform addiction liability losses.
- Algorithmic distribution systems designed to maximize engagement enable the normalization of hatred at scale, demonstrating the urgent need for transparent safeguards and stronger enforcement against hateful content.
