QOTD -- Priorities

“This is not about limiting anyone’s free speech. This is about giving people, including some of the most reprehensible people on earth, the biggest platform in history to reach a third of the planet. Freedom of speech is not freedom of reach. Sadly, there will always be racists, misogynists, anti-Semites and child abusers. But I think we could all agree that we should not be giving bigots and pedophiles a free platform to amplify their views and target their victims... if we prioritize truth over lies, tolerance over prejudice, empathy over indifference and experts over ignoramuses, then maybe, just maybe, we can stop the greatest propaganda machine in history, we can save democracy, we can still have a place for free speech and free expression, and, most importantly, my jokes will still work.” -- Sacha Baron Cohen torching Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg while accepting the Anti- Defamation League's International Leadership Award yesterday.  Cohen does a searing, compelling job of painting a broader picture of the danger of social media giants ("the Silicon six") spreading despicable lies, fear and outrage to billions around the world.  The video of Cohen's thoughtful speech is embedded at the link -- go watch it, please.
