![]() ![]() From WEF 2025: Jonathan Greenblatt, Randi Weingarten, and Jennifer Schenker Advocate for Increased Social Media Censorship to Combat Antisemitism: At the 2025 World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting, a session titled "Confronting Antisemitism Amid Polarization" featured prominent speakers who advocated for stronger measures to compel social media platforms to censor content they consider harmful. Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO and National Director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL); Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT); and Jennifer Schenker, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Innovator, expressed concerns about the influence of platforms like TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook on public discourse and the spread of antisemitism.Greenblatt sounded quite desperate, frankly. No one is going to be shamed into not working for TikTok. Randi Weingarten shared examples of how the AFT has used its influence to pressure social media platforms. "We have used the economic power sometimes against a place like Facebook or others to say, actually, you have to stand with what is moral and what is legal," she said, acknowledging the union's role in leveraging pension funds and other economic tools to advocate for what they consider the fight against hate.One solution that was not proposed: speaking out against and criticizing the genocide Israel committed in Gaza. Below are some choice clips from the event. Weingarten and Larry Summers actually came across as more unhinged than Greenblatt, if you can believe it.
