Cohen claimed during a speech that Facebook's political ad policy would have allowed Adolf Hitler to post 30-second ads on his solution to the 'Jewish problem.'
Linking to a Huffington Post article about the interview, Cohen tweeted Monday:"No, Mark, it's not that 'complex.' Let me simplify : you and Facebook take money from politicians and run their ads—even if they're not true—without fact-checking them. That's not democracy, that's you profiting off propaganda."reached out to Facebook for comment on the tweet but did not receive a response in time for publication.
"In a democracy, it's really important that people can see for themselves what politicians are saying so they can make their own judgments," Zuckerberg told King during the interview."... At the end of the day, in a democracy, I think people should be able to see what politicians are saying." Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks about the new Facebook News feature at the Paley Center For Media on October 25 in New York City. On Monday, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen criticized Zuckerberg for standing by the company's policy to run political ads regardless of the validity of their content.
As the 2020 election approaches, concerns have mounted over the possibility that an outside entity could once again weaponize social media with the goal of impacting the results. Cohen has previously criticized social media platforms for their role in politics. During his keynote address at the Anti-Defamation League's 2019 Never is Now Summit on Anti-Semitism and Hate, Cohen called the companies, including Facebook, the"greatest propaganda machine in history.
