"I applaud and wholeheartedly support the incredibly important work of the ADL in fighting anti-Semitism and hatred on the Internet through Best Practices. As is clear, the Internet has become a vital recruiting tool for racists and extremists and a vehicle for them to inexpensively and easily disseminate their ideology of incitement and messages of bigotry, conspiracy theories, prejudice, bullying and calls for violence. Like the ADL, the ADC is strongly committed to meaningfully tackling this growing problem head on, and this wonderful initiative by the ADL is a critical and laudable step in promoting an inclusive, safe and respectful environment for all users.

"The Working Group's efforts are important for what they do and say. Its recommendations urge transparency at every stage of a provider's engagement with destructive online hate and harassment. Users should know what sites expect of them: how providers define prohibited content, how they deal with content that violates their guidelines, and fair warning of their decisions with regard to reported content. This advice comports with the aspirations of due process--fair notice and a chance for users to be heard. The efforts of the Working Group send the powerful message that there are social media providers and others that care about equal opportunities for speech and dignity."
