Sacha Baron Cohen slams Facebook and other large social media platforms as 'the greatest propaganda machine in history' in a searing speech Thursday night.
While Cohen acknowledged that social media companies have taken some steps to reduce inappropriate content on their platforms, he called those measures"mostly superficial" as he specifically attacked Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
"If a neo-Nazi comes goose-stepping into a restaurant and starts threatening other customers and saying he wants to kill Jews, would the owner of the restaurant, a private business, be required to serve him an elegant eight-course meal?" Cohen said. “Of course not. The restaurant owner has every legal right, and, indeed, I would argue a moral obligation, to kick that Nazi out. And so do these internet companies.
"Part of what happens is that people don’t know what’s true and what’s not, and what to believe and what not to believe," Obama“That’s part of why we’re having so much trouble in our political culture,” he added, according to CNBC. “But it’s not just affecting politics. We are siloing ourselves off from each other in ways that are dangerous.
