Our newly released 11th report, Facebook, YouTube +: How Social Media Outlets ImpactDigital Terrorism and Hate, also focuses on how the Internet’s dynamic new social networking services are being leveraged by extremists around the world. Social networkingsites such as Facebook and YouTube have both seen a huge proliferation of extremist use with the greatest increase coming from overseas, particularly Europe and the MiddleEast.

This is why we urgently need to get our digital report into the hands of those whocan make a difference.

And, with your help, we will continue meeting withand dialoguing with a spectrum of organizations including Facebook, who after meeting with SWC officials, pledged to both continue working with the Center and removingsites which violate their terms of usage, stating: "Many of the groups or pages that were shown to us by the Simon Wiesenthal Center earlier this year as part of their study hadalready been removed under Facebook's rules. We are committed to continuing this practice and to working with those who fight hate like theSimon Wiesenthal Center."

Please support our efforts today – you are a vital part of helping us combat digital terror andhate.
