"With over 1,000 entries written over many years, the ADL Glossary of Extremism has served as a source of high-level information on a wide range of topics for years. At the same time, an increasing number of entries in the Glossary were outdated, the organization said. We also saw a number of entries intentionally misrepresented and misused. Moreover, our experts have continued to develop more comprehensive resources and innovative ways to provide information about antisemitism, extremism and hate."
"The Anti-Defamation League deleted its Glossary of Extremism database on Tuesday after receiving backlash for including the late Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA. In a statement, the ADL announced that it had retired the extremism database after its decision to list Turning Point USA even after founder Kirk's recent assassination sparked uproar on social media, including from billionaire Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr."
"At ADL, we always are looking for how we can and should do things better. That's why we are moving to retire the Glossary effectively immediately. This will allow ADL to explore new strategies and creative approaches to deliver our data and present our research more effectively. It will keep us focused on ensuring we do what we do best: fighting antisemitism and hate in the most impactful ways possible."
