Disney CEO Bob Iger delivered a scalding rebuke of social media at a dinner at the Simon Wiesenthal Center Wednesday where he was honored with the 2019 Humanitarian Award.
"Hitler would have loved social media," Iger said, according to a report from Variety. The Wiesenthal Center bills itself as a global human rights group dedicated to researching the Holocaust and combating anti-Semitism and hate. "It's the most powerful marketing tool an extremist could ever hope for because by design social media reflects a narrow world view filtering out anything that challenges our beliefs while constantly validating our convictions and amplifying our deepest fears."
