On TikTok, Jewish creators say speaking about their Judaism comes with a price. Comment sections are often filled with antisemitic remarks, stereotypes and slurs. But recently, some Jewish creators say the app is flagging and removing their content.
Jewish creators said they sometimes run into problems when they reply to antisemitic comments on their pages. TikTok has a feature that allows users to create video responses to specific comments, and Jewish creators sometimes use this to call out the antisemitic remarks and threats on their pages.
“Normally, the videos that I can almost always rely on getting taken down are when I reply to comments that I receive that will say terrible things such as, ‘Why is it Jews always look like rats?’” Massey said. The brothers-in-law have tried to take precautions against triggering a ban on their account, where they post comedic videos “with a Jewish twist,” which includes staying away from posting political videos and restricting what words commenters are allowed to use on their page. TikTok does not have any policy banning discussion of the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis.“We got another ban, like, OK, what’s going on? And then another ban.
Since the end of May, he said he was banned at least twice for allegedly violating community guidelines but was never told specifically what in his videos violated those guidelines.
