1) Sacha Baron Cohen’s speech to the Anti-Defamation League - on reckless tech companies - is a must-read. Here’s best bit in following tweets.
2) “If a neo-Nazi comes goose-stepping into a restaurant and starts threatening other customers and saying he wants kill Jews, would the owner of the restaurant be required to serve him an elegant eight-course meal?  Of course not! ...
3) “The restaurant owner has every legal right and a moral obligation to kick the Nazi out, and so do these internet companies.”
4) “Facebook will run any “political” ad you want, even if it’s a lie. They’ll even help you micro-target those lies.  Under this twisted logic, if Facebook were around in 1930s, it would have allowed Hitler to post 30-second ads on his “solution” to the “Jewish problem.”
5) “So here’s a good standard and practice: Facebook, start fact-checking political ads before you run them, stop micro-targeted lies immediately, and when the ads are false, give back the money and don’t publish them. Here’s another good practice: slow down.”
6) “We’re not asking these companies to determine the boundaries of free speech across society.  We just want them to be responsible on their platforms.”
7) Sacha Baron Cohen's Keynote Address at ADL's 2019 Never Is Now Summit on Anti-Semitism and Hate | Anti-Defamation League
