"And we can point to successes with Meta and with TikTok and with others in working to ensure that anti-Semitic material and anti-Semitic material that feeds into algorithms is taken down from their sites."

We hold carmakers, toymakers, and drug companies accountable if their products cause harm. Why should social media be any different? It’s time to make sure their algorithms are safe. And hold them responsible if they’re not.
