Spanish-language Google is swamped with antisemitic content

In January the clips received three likes for every one dislike but that increased to four to one by the end of the year.

Released last Friday, the report highlighted 484 Spanish-language videos that deny the Holocaust and have been viewed almost 1.7 million times in 2016 alone. Some of the videos are tagged with the word “holocuento”, a term used to lampoon the Holocaust or suggest it did not happen.

Meanwhile on Twitter anti-Jewish content is largely related to Israel and the trivialisation of the Holocaust.

Ariel Siedler, director of Observatorio Web, said: “There is a worrying positive viewing of antisemitic content and that is a growing trend. The most viewed are about Holocaust denial.”
