Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram) use shared community standards and a unified reporting infrastructure. Understanding this system improves reporting effectiveness.

Meta's Hate Speech Policy

Meta's Community Standards prohibit attacks on people based on protected characteristics including race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, and others. "Attacks" include violent or dehumanizing speech, harmful stereotypes, statements of inferiority, and calls for exclusion or segregation.

Meta uses a three-tier severity system for hate speech: - **Tier 1**: Dehumanizing speech, statements of inferiority, calls for violence - **Tier 2**: Statements of contempt, dismissal, disgust - **Tier 3**: Calls for segregation, slurs, stereotypes

Reporting Groups and Pages

Antisemitic content often concentrates in Facebook groups. You can: - Report individual posts within groups - Report the group itself if its primary purpose is spreading hate - Report group administrators who enable or participate in hate speech

Tips for Effective Meta Reporting

Use the Oversight Board: For significant cases, consider submitting to Meta's Oversight Board, which reviews content moderation decisions and sets precedents.

Report ads: Antisemitic content sometimes appears in paid advertising. Report these through the ad-specific reporting mechanism for faster action.

Provide translations: For content in languages other than English, include a translation in your report to assist moderators.

Document rejection patterns: If Meta consistently rejects reports for a specific type of antisemitic content, document this pattern for advocacy purposes.
