TikTok is the most effective of the major social media networks in removing reported content denying the Holocaust, while YouTube is the worst, according to research published today by CyberWell, a tech nonprofit focused on monitoring and combating antisemitism and Holocaust denial and distortion online.
TikTok’s moderation algorithms removed 92.3 percent of posts denying the Holocaust that CyberWell reported to them, while YouTube removed just 30.7%, the report says. Meta sites Facebook and Instagram removed 78.8% of reported content, and X (formerly Twitter) removed 68%.
Meta and X both significantly improved their moderation performance in 2024, the report noted.
Despite updates announced in early 2025 to its trust and safety processes, Meta continues to consider Holocaust denial as prohibited content, the report notes.
