Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen used an award reception on Thursday to call out Facebook, YouTube, Google and Twitter for facilitating "hate and violence."
Cohen addressed an audience at the Anti-Defamation League's Never Is Now Summit on Thursday in New York as he received the International Leadership Award for "brilliantly [using] satire to expose racism, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism." Pushing back on the notion that platforms like Facebook should facilitate free speech above all else, he said, "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."
"The Silicon Six — all billionaires, all Americans — who care more about boosting their share price than about protecting democracy," he told the crowd. "This is ideological imperialism — six unelected individuals in Silicon Valley imposing their vision on the rest of the world, unaccountable to any government and acting like they’re above the reach of law. It’s like we’re living in the Roman Empire, and Mark Zuckerberg is Caesar.
Sacha Baron Cohen wants to be the only one that’s allowed to say, “Throw the jew down the well.”
Who is Sasha Cohen?
I’ve stopped caring about any of these people and what they have to say.
Was he calling out Antifa?
“Comedian”. 🤦♂️
Too bad.. Sasha used to be cool.
His whole act and gig that made him famous is nothing but “hate speech!”
Hexwanrs censorship. As.hole
Ah yes the empty room theory where they say you can have freedom of speech just in an empty room with no audience. If you get an audience then you're in trouble. If this became law, what is left of the first amendment?
There are good people facebook who know this argument is true. Please stand up and make yourself heard.
CENSORSHIP is never the answer.
Just another Hollywood liberal I'll never watch again...
It's almost like he never watched his own movies. Ironic. Just another BS call for censorship from a wanna be tyrant.
Ok , Borat
Just stick to idiotic comedies please
Used to be a fan.... Key word 'used to be'
I loved when borat sang the song 'Throw the Jew Down the Well'
Hahahaha what a joke
Pathetic liberal fool.
Ali G says what?
It’s time to call out the bookburners. If a person doesn’t respect America’s Constituionally protected rights that include Freedom Of Speech, then they can stay home or find a more restrictive & tyrannical nation to migrate.
He is a lot more convincing when he acts like a dumb gangsta than he is when he tries to be serious and intellectual..
Biggest hypocrite in the world Goes to the man who wrote the song “throw the Jew down the well.” His own work would be considered “hate speech” under his own guidelines here.
Mr Cohen really hates the beautiful people of the light
A comedian calling for censorship, these people have really lost touch with reality.
Fresh from under a rock ... here’s a failing comedian screaming for censorship ... congrats JACK OFF.
Sorry sasha if your imperialist neoliberal neocon propaganda machine is broken because of İnternet. Gatekeeping for the information days are over dude
All to true
I say let them. You never get a chance to understand the opposition if you silence them. People should be more confident in there position if they believe they are right and challenge others who opposes there ideas. Slicening them only shows you have no confidence in what you do
Back when this guy was all for free speech he was way funnier.
Still stings that he fked up being Freddie Mercury in the movie that won the Oscar
Most people in Hollywood think this way. Who gives a flying F? They are so far separated from reality that they cannot form logical thoughts. While they are living in mansions and making millions, they don’t know what it’s like living like the common person.
You mean the 1st amendment Cohen 🙄
This is why I pirate every Hollywood film. These idiots don't deserve the $
💋
A D list celebrity giving his opinion on something no one asked him about...
This guy literally sang a song called, 'Throw the jew down the well.' He can get bent if he thinks I should listen to him. Speech locked underground heard by noone is no longer free speech.
Trying to stay relevant! He's no longer funny not a classic comedian. Another Hollyweird SJW who knows nothing of anything. SachaBaronCohen
Cohen is a giant idiot. 🤦🏽♀️
I agree with Cohen. Well said. SachaBaronCohen
Getting in front of his own past?
washed up youwereneverreallyfunny
He would ban his own material? These people are fuqn weird. Don’t lever look to them for guidance
Sacha: 'Im Ali G, muffuggas...take me seriously!'
He should have the title 'Comedian' striped from him.
Daily reminder
Censorship those I disagree with please. 🙄😴
Shitlib Sacha Baron Cohen who belittles and trashes various groups of people in his supposed comedic acts is the definition of hypocrisy. There fixed it for you rabid libs
Its funny because they never talk about the mainstream media and the left conspiracy theorists, like the ones who denies the Holomodor
Censor those you fear. Defines your weakness libs.
So he wants his movies banned.
As long as the hate, bias and violence is against Christians, Jews and conservatives its okay.
So he’s all for banning the violent AntifaTerrorists from social media and having the FBI go after their leadership? No? Hmmm 🤔.
He won a Holden Globe? Why? He sucks.
He now plays a Mossad agent like this one😈🍄🐸🌈
Wonder if he has some skeletons in his closet.
His 'humor' is pretty hateful tho
Another hollywood loser doing his part in the censoring of speech. Once free speech is gone, we will NEVER get it back. Free speech means all speech
He’s done
Why is it that those who actually promote hate, violence, intolerance, and division accuse those they hate and wish to visit violence on of 'promoting hate and violence'. If you want to know what a Leftist is guilty of, watch for what they accuse others of doing.
Who?
Like ANTIFA
Looks like another comedian has decided to give up on comedy.
Another panzie Hollywood elite, completely out of touch with people expressing how troubled they are with the choices we make! These people piss me off
The walls are closing in on his old raunchy jokes(Borat, Bruno etc.), so he's launching a pre-emptive strike on the SJWs crowd. Smart! 🤔
Sad to Henry Winkler there and apart of this
Because they do.
He hates the goys but loves their money
MoFo
He did much more then that, he set up the Jews to be hated by all. He is a Deep State operative.
😂 these people are nuts
Liberals are in control of the media, academia, entertainment industry, and they want to shut down any other opinions that are not theirs. Who are the fascist?
Who really cares what borat has to say. Next
Did he sing his song “throw the Jew down the well”?
YESSS, they constantly allow Antifa & fellow hateful liberal social justice warriors & even Democrat law makers, like RepMaxineWaters, to threaten the lives of conservatives & spew hateful rhetoric! It must be stopped!
He wants the govt to decide what crosses the line. Hows that working in Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, and China? Cohen is Commie.
Who? Oh, someone from Hollywood again? Bless his tiny heart.
Hitler was a Democrat Socialist who hated Jews. Sounds like the left to me.
He’s mad that ppl with different POVs than his get to speak.
Another hollywood loser wanting to end free speech and censor those that oppose their views.
He thinks anti-fa are on the side of Jews Wake up before it’s too late Sacha...
I’ve saved so much money by not buying crap from Hollywierd
The funny Jew completely lost it.
Jews and supression of rights going together like peas and carrots for centuries now. But any negative reaction to this interloping, or even pointing out this fact of Jewish behavior is somehow irrational. Riiiiiiiiight -this tweet will prolly get me banned.
Idiot
pot, meet kettle.
'Another one'
I dont take people seriously who have had hairy fat men’s balls in their face
Another off the list, deluded man
The only hate and violence I see is coming from the intolerant Left. I don't see any violence perpetrated by conservatives.
Gotta be filming for a new “SJW” film?!? I can only hope!
With so many groups how do you decide which ideology is acceptable. Western filters will block bigots while African filters will block LGBTQ propagandist and much more. You're trying to stop them from being gods by asking them to play god

Jews really dont want their silly holocaust story and US' blind loyalty to Israel to be challenged so they want everyone who dare questions those things be censored. 🖕🏻
Dude made millions of belittling and mocking minorities. Not sure he is the right messenger.
So let’s get this straight. Sacha can mock and disrespect, Christians, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists. But anyone brave enough to say the slightest negative comment about his tribe, is an anti Semitic nazi, who should be socially excluded from society. Sounds fair to me.
Aladdin motherfucka got woke .
*Jewish Sacha Baron Cohen
Says the man who made his fortune posting hate movies against conservatives
Yeah but what do Russell Brand & Emo Philips say? 👎🏻🤪☹️
SJW Ali G. Ponce
Yeah we all know about him hmmmmmmmm
He should really look in a mirror.
I wonder if he’s ever been to an island before
Loser
Clown
Lol
He should share a platform with Omar & Sarsour! Oh that’s right, he can’t 😜
Cohen is a Marxist jew, why is everyone shocked?
The left love some good ole censorship
He made a living by exploiting free expression, and Free speech, for the sake of shock value. Now he's going to lecture the public about how we should all be censored if he disagrees with us. He's a walking contradiction. A complete loser.
Who?
'The Greatest Propaganda Machine in History,' that would be the LeftistLoons of Hollywood and our FakeNews MSM! Trump2020 MAGA2020 KAG2020 TRUMP2020Landside 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
SJW Borat, yay
If a movie was made by a Khazaki playing the role of a Jew who hates Khazakis it would probably be banned because of the organisation this guy is shilling for
Epstein s black book ?
i actually took this as a totally amazing thing to do. because that's exactly what the platforms do in my mind - facilitate hate, bigotry, racism. i didn't realize he meant with censorship! thought he was being funny but calling out the Left for their obvious hypocricies!
The left love Censorship
Was he on Epstein's island?
i wonder if he get involved in some pedophile ring that he is now forced to go along with what his handlers instruct him to do. that's how hollyweird and democrats control their celebrities
Thanks for showing us how a Jewish elitist foreigner is trying to censor Americans.
He is literally a Zionist lol talk about the pot calling the kettle black
Thank god we got Ali G and Borat before Sacha Baron Cohen went woke
Hmmm.. I wonder much 'hate' Sacha....aka Bruno...would receive in Pakistan after the anal bleaching scene in his movie.
I won't watch his movies anymore.
It's not right that people are allow to disagree with celebrities.
DeleteFacebook
A Jewish foreigner, with the Jewish ADL decided it would be a good idea to stop a conspiracy of a Jewish world takeover, by calling for silencing anybody they don't want heard. Good job.
Thats a bit rich coming from a Jewish guy who made his millions on creating hate, falsehoods and demeaning stereotypes about other countries and ethnicities ? Classic !
So does that mean antifa is gonna be deplatformed?
You mean he called for censorship. FIFY.
It is pretty pathetic that they allow Antifa to continue to threaten Trump supporters. Oh...he was talking about how they're not censoring enough conservatives. Of course. That's liberalism today.
Smug elitist douche bag
Accusing Mark Zuckerberg of being a Nazi is like accusing Adolf Hitler of being a Jew already
Very true
what's wrong with hate?, most people are not really that satisfied with their lives
SachaBaronCohen I’m sick of actors (people who lie professionally) being bedfellows w politicians (more people who lie professionally). Sometimes I wonder if these politicians & actors let themselves be manipulated into believing fantasy from reality. And we eat it up bc we’re that easily led.
SachaBaronCohen A clear example of reverse psychology in action
