在澳大利亚政府就反犹太主义蔓延问题举行的听证会上，谷歌高管 Rachel Lord 作证称，一段错误声称悉尼大屠杀幸存者 Arsen Ostrovsky 是“危机演员”的视频符合平台标准并将继续保留 [1]。该视频由四名男子制作，指控 Ostrovsky 为情报资产并宣称大屠杀系“假旗行动”，同时提及他拥有戏剧学位等细节以支持其虚假说法 [1]。Ostrovsky 自今年 12 月 14 日在悉尼光明节庆祝活动上受伤以来，一直遭受网络仇恨和 AI 操纵内容的困扰 [1]。律师 Richard Lancaster 指出，这一事件显示 YouTube 的仇恨言论指南存在严重缺陷 [1]。此次大屠杀发生于 15 人遇难的惨案中，枪手为 Sajid Akram 和 Naveed Akram [1]。
At a hearing in Australia regarding the spread of anti-Semitism, Rachel Lord, an executive for Google, testified that a video falsely claiming Arsen Ostrovsky is a "crisis actor" complies with platform standards and will remain online [1]. The controversial content was produced by four men who accused Ostrovsky of being an intelligence asset and asserted that the Sydney massacre was a "false flag operation" [1]. These allegations included claims about his theater degree, labeling him as such, and suggesting he is part of an intelligence network [1].
The false video emerged after Ostrovsky sustained injuries on December 14 during a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney where fifteen people were killed by shooters Sajid and Naveed Akram [1]. Since the attack, the survivor has faced ongoing cyber-hate and AI manipulation targeting him [1]. Richard Lancaster, an attorney representing interests related to the case, stated that this situation reveals "really serious deficiency" in YouTube's hate speech guidelines [1].
