AN ACT

Condemning antisemitic hate-filled rhetoric and content disseminated by prominent online personalities, and urging social media platforms and public leaders to denounce and address such conduct.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that— (1) antisemitic rhetoric and conspiracy theories disseminated by influential online personalities, including Hasan Piker and Candace Owens, are dangerous and contribute to a climate of hatred and intolerance; (2) individuals with online platforms have a responsibility to refrain from promoting or amplifying antisemitic narratives and disinformation; (3) social media and streaming platforms should take appropriate steps to enforce their policies against hate speech and prevent the spread of antisemitic content; (4) public officials and community leaders should unequivocally condemn antisemitism, including when it is propagated by high-profile media figures and influencers; (5) efforts to downplay or excuse antisemitic rhetoric under the guise of political commentary should be rejected; and (6) the United States reaffirms its commitment to combating antisemitism, and ensuring the safety and dignity of Jewish individuals and communities both online and offline.
