JTA: Swedish Jews complain that Google searches are returning anti-Semitic results

March 8, 2018

Google is facing criticism in Sweden for its failure to prevent anti-Semitic material from topping searches featuring the term “Jews in Sweden.”

One such search, which was last updated on Wednesday, delivers as the second result a list of prominent Jews compiled by anti-Semites.

Additionally, a video that appeared on the Granskning Sverige, or Sweden Review, far-right channel on YouTube contains racial slurs and the names and pictures of prominent Swedish Jews. YouTube has taken down the Sweden Review channel following an outcry earlier this week over the availability of anti-Semitic content in local media, including Dagens Nyheter and Expressen. Its content has since been uploaded by affiliated channels and is again available.
