Behind the scenes of TikTok's antisemitism problem

The Glue, with Eric Fingerhut

Apr 2 2024 • 27 mins

TikTok has an antisemitism problem. One study found that people who use TikTok for 30 minutes or more daily are 17% more likely to hold antisemitic or anti-Israel views, compared with 6% for Instagram and 2% for X (formerly Twitter). In late January, TikTok's top government relations professional in Israel Barak Herscowitz resigned in protest, alleging antisemitism on the social network's platform. In the latest episode of "The Glue," Herscowitz tells Jewish Federations of North America President and CEO Eric Fingerhut about what he saw that led him to that decision.

"The Glue, with Eric Fingerhut," is brought to you by Jewish Federations on North America, the backbone of the North American Jewish community, representing over 350 communities across North America. Find out how you can get involved or donate to your local Federation at www.jewishfederations.org.
