AJC, CyberWell Formalize Partnership to Combat Online Antisemitism

Organizations to Expand Work with Major Tech and Social Media Companies to Better Address Online Hate

As antisemitism continues to surge on social media and other online platforms, with bad actors deploying new tactics to spread hate and mis- and disinformation, American Jewish Committee (AJC) and CyberWell today formalized their partnership to understand, respond to, and prevent online antisemitism.

"Online antisemitism is not a new problem - but it is one that is constantly evolving, and so must our response," said AJC CEO Ted Deutch. "As more people rely on these platforms for news and entertainment, bad actors have become disturbingly skilled at spreading hate, masking antisemitic conspiracies as fact, and exploiting algorithms to deepen division. Combating digital antisemitism-the most predominant source of antisemitism today-demands precision, transparency, and real accountability from tech companies. AJC's partnership with CyberWell strengthens our tools in that fight, complementing the work we are driving with leaders in government, education, the private sector, and partner communities."

By bringing together AJC's policy expertise and insights into the lived experiences of Jewish communities across the country and around the world, and CyberWell's platform-level analyses and expertise in emerging antisemitic trends and digital policy compliance (Trust and Safety), the organizations can provide full-picture accounts and practical recommendations to tech and social media companies and other digital platforms. These insights reflect what antisemitism looks and sounds like today - and how it is continuing to evolve and spread online, becoming increasingly subversive as bad actors circumvent platform safeguards and exploit algorithmic amplification.

"We're thrilled to expand CyberWell and the AJC's working relationship which brings CyberWell's innovative, tech and solutions-based approach to AJC's powerful policy, education and engagement initiatives," said CyberWell CEO and Founder, Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor. "Our joint work will act as a catalyst, multiplying the impact of our missions to combat the spread of antisemitism online at a time when collaboration between communal organizations, social media platforms, and tech-based solutions, like CyberWell, are more urgent than ever."

The formalized partnership will build on the work that AJC and CyberWell have already undertaken together, including direct engagement with major technology and social media companies. Over the last six months, the organizations have crafted and presented targeted reports-including to Meta and X- that reflect American Jews' experiences on their platforms. These reports include recommendations and urgent steps to address the anti-Jewish hate the community experiences specifically on each platform, and reflect an individualized approach for each company, recognizing the opportunities and challenges each faces. Additional reports are planned in the coming months.

Complementing these reports, AJC and CyberWell will also continue to provide joint training for tech and social media platforms' trust and safety teams and senior leadership. CyberWell will also support AJC's policy and research initiatives, including AJC's State of Antisemitism in America Report through data sharing and consultations.

AJC's State of Antisemitism in America 2025 Report found that 73% of American Jews say they have experienced antisemitism online-either by seeing or hearing it or by being personally targeted. One-in-five (21%) of American Jews who experienced antisemitism online say they felt physically threatened by these incidents. Online platforms and social media are also where most Americans encounter antisemitism. Among U.S. adults who reported seeing or hearing antisemitism in the past 12 months, nearly three-quarters (74%) said they encountered it online or on social media. The next most common source was friends or family, cited by 20% of respondents.

In March, AJC and CyberWell releasedThe State of Antisemitism in America: Findings and Recommendations for Major Digital Platforms, a public report that outlines cross-platform recommendations to confront the most pressing challenges online, including strengthening enforcement against the glorification of antisemitic attacks and pro-terror content, improving detection of coded and AI-generated antisemitism, preventing coordinated manipulation and bot activity, and increasing transparency around content moderation and algorithmic amplification.

American Jewish Committee (AJC) is the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people, creating trusted partnerships with leaders around the world to ensure Jews and Israel are safe and thriving. Through 40 offices and dozens of partnerships with Jewish communities worldwide, AJC engages leaders in more than 110 countries, empowering those in government, education, partner communities, and the private sector to counter antisemitism and act as allies.
