Sacha Baron Cohen Uses ADL Speech to Tear Apart Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook
If I understand this correctly, he's pulling back from offline comments he's made about Hollywood (vis Jewish people) and of course years of negative Jewish stereotypes in his work.Before this, he "bent the knee" with his portrayal of Eli Cohen. Wasn't a terrible film but his reverence for the character was a bit much.FB is a dumpster fire, I don't think anyone argues otherwise these days. But differentiating between freedom of speech and "reach" is just as dangerous as saying we need to treat freedom of speech on a case by case basis.We either have freedom of speech or we don't. If we don't, sooner or later we're all fucked.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.We need to work on the fundamental issues, not grant more power to groups with specific political / authoritarian agendas.
