Twitter has the most antisemitic content of all the social networks, according to a study.  

Researchers looked at 382,000 antisemitic posts on social media in 2016 and found nearly two-thirds of them appeared on the site.

Eleven per cent were posted on Facebook, six per cent on Instagram and two per cent appeared on YouTube.

The study, carried out by the World Jewish Congress, applied the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism in analysing the posts.
