The Simon Wiesenthal Center Digital Terror Report warns of increased online antisemitic, racist, anti-LGBTQ hate and violence against Black, immigrant and Jewish residents 

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and Commissioner Scott Britton today announced the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s (SWC) 28th annual Digital Terrorism and Hate Interactive Report, in partnership with Cook County United Against Hate. The 2023 “Report Card” grades 24 social media, video, gaming, music sharing, and marketplace companies on their failure to curb online hate.

“As the Digital Hate Reports shows us, no place is immune to the surge of hateful rhetoric and hate crimes we are seeing across the nation – and Cook County is no exception,” said President Preckwinkle. “We must continue to be vigilant against white supremacist indoctrination in all layers of our society and government. At Cook County, we are committed to fighting racism and hate at its roots and its branches.”

“Hate has no home in Cook County,” said Commissioner Britton. “This Digital Hate Report Card is a horrible reminder that people of hate will use every means to recruit new members to expand their violent ends. Through Cook County United Against Hate, I am committed to fighting against the wide-reaching impacts of white supremacy, both online and off, through education, targeted investment, prosecution, and legislation.”
