Countering Iranian Anti-Semitism Online
A day after the anti-Semitic Iranian news channel Press TV began live streaming its content on YouTube, ADL contacted YouTube to inform them that their services were being used by Iran to broadcast anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and that such content may violate their terms of service. We also noted that providing such communication services may be viewed as violating the Iran Sanctions Act and that users may encounter difficulty when attempting to flag such materials in streaming videos. Following ADL’s actions, YouTube disabled the Press TV’s ability to live stream their content.
