Social media companies allow antisemitic hate to flow ‘unchecked’, Australia’s race commissioner says

Australia's race discrimination commissioner, Giridharan Sivaraman, stated that social media companies are allowing antisemitic and racist hate speech to spread "unchecked." Sivaraman issued this warning on Thursday in the wake of the Bondi beach terror attack, citing concerns about a potential surge in racially motivated violence. He believes that social media platforms are not doing enough to stop the spread of online hate because it can be profitable for them. Sivaraman suggests that the situation is likely to worsen before it improves, highlighting the urgent need for action. The commissioner's comments raise questions about the responsibility of social media companies in moderating harmful content.
