GamingADL criticizes Fortnite, Call of Duty for lax stance on Holocaust denial
The ADL has released its 2023 Holocaust Denial Report Card, and while none of the social media platforms or gaming companies it assessed did an exemplary job of preventing and responding to users denying Nazi Germany's systemic murder of millions of people, some did notably worse than others.
Epic Games was the only company to receive a grade of F, as Fortnite lacked an explicit policy around Holocaust denial, took more than 24 hours to respond when incidents were reported to it, and failed to take action on reports made by average users.
The ADL also noted that it had "trusted partner" status with many of the companies it looked at so that content (from user names to social media posts) it reported would be prioritized in the moderation process. Epic was the only company not to take action on Holocaust denial content that had been flagged by the ADL.
