Sacha Baron Cohen Uses ADL Speech to Tear Apart Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook
If I understand this correctly, he&#x27;s pulling back from offline comments he&#x27;s made about Hollywood (vis Jewish people) and of course years of negative Jewish stereotypes in his work.<p>Before this, he &quot;bent the knee&quot; with his portrayal of Eli Cohen. Wasn&#x27;t a terrible film but his reverence for the character was a bit much.<p>FB is a dumpster fire, I don&#x27;t think anyone argues otherwise these days. But differentiating between freedom of speech and &quot;reach&quot; is just as dangerous as saying we need to treat freedom of speech on a case by case basis.<p>We either have freedom of speech or we don&#x27;t. If we don&#x27;t, sooner or later we&#x27;re all fucked.<p>There are no sounds that I can make with my mouth that are dangerous. If people are easily convinced to hate other people, the problem is not dangerous speech or ideas. The problem is a breakdown in fundamental education, i.e., those people are dangerously ignorant.<p>We need to work on the fundamental issues, not grant more power to groups with specific political &#x2F; authoritarian agendas.
