'Freedom of speech is not freedom of reach,' Sacha Baron Cohen said of social media in a speech. On political ads, he said, 'Under this twisted logic... [Facebook] would have allowed Hitler to post 30-second ads on his 'solution' to the 'Jewish problem.''
Speaking at the Anti Defamation League's International Leadership summit on Thursday night, where he was accepting an award, the actor and comedian criticized social media — especially Facebook , Twitter , and YouTube — as"the greatest propaganda machine in history."Baron Cohen blamed the tech companies for stoking the fires of bigotry and enabling the spread of dangerous conspiracies, often fueled by algorithms designed to keep consumers hooked.
— Sacha Baron Cohen November 21, 2019 In the speech, Cohen urged that the companies be seen as"what they really are—the largest publishers in history.""As such, he said, they should follow basic standards and practices that newspapers, magazines and TV news adhere to in their daily reporting."When it came to political ads, Cohen was especially critical of Facebook."Fortunately, Twitter finally banned them, and Google is making changes, too.
