Amy Schumer, Michael Rappaport and Jason Biggs are among the Jewish celebs who have joined influencers in signing an open letter to TikTok asking the app to…
The letter details the “abhorrent inhumanity” Jewish creators on the app have experienced since the militant group Hamas attacked Israel Oct. 7.Since the start of the Israeli-Hamas war, a torrent of antisemitic and anti-Muslim rhetoric has flowed on social media. Jewish social media influencers say TikTok isn't doing enough to combat the online hatred.
Those that signed the letter say the digital harassment is having real world implications, compelling them to feel scared to leave their homes and forcing them to consider hiring armed security. “Yes, it’s a dramatic historical analogy, but it’s never been more necessary to point out,” the letter says. “And like last time, there are many other marginalized groups similarly impacted. TikTok’s failure to protect its most vulnerable communities hurts all vulnerable communities.
The final item asks Tiktok to institute a community manager role dedicated to Jewish creators and the broader atmosphere of the Jewish Tiktok community. Tiktok has created roles similar to this for other minority groups, the letter says. In addition to celebrity signatures, over three dozen social media influencers and public figures signed the letter.
