EXCERPT: . . . A 2021 report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate found that the five leading social-media companies (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok) failed to remove 84 percent of antisemitic posts — and those were just the ones that had been flagged by the tools these companies use to alert content moderators to problematic content.
In their defense, the big social-media companies say that, try as they might, it’s impossible to police all the content on their sites, given the sheer volume of it. It’s certainly true that there are obstacles in the way of combating online hate and antisemitism.
Content moderation is a game of Whac-A-Mole. For example, several years ago, antisemites began using an “echo” — three parentheses bracketing a word — to refer to Jewish individuals. Content-moderation systems could take down every instance of the echo, but that would also sweep up educational posts sharing what the echo means as well as posts by Jews using it to proudly self-identify in the face of hate.

Such favoritism is vaguely reflective of how when "born woman social justice" and "transwoman social justice" conflict with each other, it is the feminists who must step aside or be derogatively labeled TERFS by the collectivist and progressive capitalist establishment. Going back to the mid 19th-century, "systemic oppression" politics has always featured a backdoor (no pun intended) for allowing males (either overt or covert) to still sport the upperhand when guiding the direction of crusaderism and revolution.
