Lipstadt, the State Department’s special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism, met earlier in the day with top technology companies to discuss steps to combat online antisemitism. Among the options discussed were the creation of special teams to focus on the issue and training programs to teach employees how to identify Jew-hatred.

In attendance at the meeting were representatives from Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok and X.

“There’s good reasons to beat up on them [tech giants] in terms of antisemitism online,” Lipstadt told Bloomberg News.

“But too many people have done that and nothing has changed, and we were hoping that we could look for best practices,” she added.
