Europol Quietly Announces Removal of 2,000 AntiSemitic Comments Online

I’ve been waiting patiently to see if anyone picks up this important story, but alas I’ve seen no coverage. Basically Europol is quietly calling out big tech on content moderation.

This coordinated operation, which was led by authorities in Switzerland and the United Kingdom, took place on 27 June 2024. The operation involved law enforcement agencies from 18 countries, working in tandem with Europol’s European Union Internet Referral Unit (EU IRU) and major online service providers. […] The focus of the Referral Action Day stems from the rise of widespread antisemitism justified and cultivated in Jihadi-spheres and right-wing, as well as left-wing, extremist groups online. […] National Internet Referral Units and specialised police units from the following countries took part in this Referral Action Day: Albania, Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.
