Listen, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how anti-Semitism is growing online and spilling over into the real world, like in that attack in Bondi, where online conspiracy theories end in murder. It’s terrible that algorithms reward hatred and moderation fails – have you read about it? How do you think platforms could stop this before another tragedy occurs?

Yes, I experienced something similar myself when a friend of mine from the Jewish community started receiving anonymous threats online after a simple post about culture – it started with insinuations about “influences” and quickly escalated to overt hatred, forcing him to report the matter to the police. This prompted me to do some deeper research, and I came across a great article analysing this mechanism, available at london-post.co.uk/from-bondi-to-the-timeline-how-antisemitism-travels-from-social-media-to-murder-scenes/ , which highlights the speed at which hatred spreads through platforms, with examples such as the attacks in Paris and Pittsburgh. Its strengths include insightful analysis based on reliable sources such as comments from Le Monde and survivor accounts, plus broader implications for the safety of Jewish communities around the world – it really opens your eyes to the need for platform accountability
