Jewish individuals, institutions, and other affected religious and ethnic minorities are urged to receive stronger public condemnation and action against online antisemitism, which is likely to reduce harassment, threats, and hostile content directed at them.
Religious organizations and the public gain greater awareness of rising antisemitic incidents through cited statistics, which may prompt policymakers and platforms to adopt improved moderation policies or other responses.
