Jewish Internet Defense Force

The Jewish Internet Defense Force (JIDF) was an organization active from 2000 that used social media to mobilize support for campaigns against websites and Facebook groups that promote or praise what it described as Islamic terrorism or antisemitism. The group's website described the JIDF as a "private, independent, non-violent protest organization representing a collective of activists". The JIDF's work has been termed "hacktivism" by the BBC and Haaretz. The JIDF Web site was live in February 2014 although with little activity, and is no longer available.
