Key Achievements in 2025
In 2025, FOA reported 35,700 antisemitic items and achieved an average removal rate of 67% across the 5 leading platforms when reporting directly to the platforms, compared with 35% for FOA’s volunteer reports.
FOA encountered a continued escalation in the scale and intensity of online antisemitism and significantly increased the removal of antisemitic content across major platforms. The consistent success appeals process further demonstrated the critical importance of professional reporting in enforcing platform policies and mitigating harm.
FOA’s monitoring data showed a substantial increase in the overall volume of harmful content, alongside a marked rise in its most dangerous forms. Alongside this quantitative rise in hate content, FOA documented the emergence of a sharp surge in AI-generated deepfakes, particularly during the June 2025 Israel–Iran war, while coordinated disinformation campaigns amplified antisemitic narratives. These trends represent the increasing weaponization of technology to manipulate perception.
At the core of these efforts stands our expanding international volunteer community. Our 500 volunteers community is multi-generational, with nearly half of the volunteers aged 18-30, hailing from 27 countries, allowing us to monitor in various languages.
FOA successfully identified and facilitated the disruption of a high-level terror plot orchestrated by a white nationalist accelerationist cell. The group explicitly planned to target U.S. Jewish communities on April 1, 2026, the first night of Passover, with the stated intent to “bring the Nova massacre home.” By monitoring operational discussions on X that detailed specific weaponry and holiday gathering targets, FOA’s intelligence unit compiled a comprehensive evidentiary file. This intelligence was transitioned to the FBI’s Detroit Field Office Hate Crimes Division, triggering a formal federal investigation and neutralizing a direct threat to public safety.
Beyond immediate threat mitigation, FOA maintained a strategic focus on the “Convergence of Extremes” through continuous monitoring of the digital landscape. This effort led to the extensive documentation of antisemitic activity on UpScrolled, a social platform launched in mid 2025. Following a systematic analysis of the platform’s systemic failure to enforce community guidelines, FOA formally reported UpScrolled to Apple and Google for significant app store policy violations, which led Google to open an investigation. This proactive approach ensures that emerging digital spaces are held accountable to global safety standards while providing a clear intelligence picture of evolving extremist coordination.
