Therefore when the ADL ved me to receive an award 2019, I nsired for the first time. I had been wary of the dangers of social media for a number of years.

Why?</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">sacha baron hen</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Well, was specifilly that was a year away om the electn. And I believed that Tmp and Tmpism would w aga by spreadg li, nspiraci, and hate through social media, nspiraci about the electn, and through racism and hate. And there was a predisposn for that stuff to succeed and be more digtible and watchable on social media. For example, as you know, YouTube’s algorhm changed to make more engagg. If people watch more, they n crease the sal of advertisg, right? Facebook and Google and YouTube are all about advertisg. And the way to do that is, you make the next thg that you see creasgly more extreme. It’s this kd of radilizatn algorhm, which is why I felt I had to say somethg. I didn’t thk would have much of an impact. I felt my ambns for my reer were pretty limed, growg up Northwt London. I wanted to jo a theater pany lled Theater Complicé So I never thought I was gog to have my own TV show. I never thought I’d be given the money to make a movie. I didn’t know anyone who was a succsful actor. So by the time I got to 2019, I’d sort of acplished everythg that was beyond my wilst dreams. So I felt that that speech might end my reer, for people to say, what the hell is he lecturg about somethg he knows nothg about? Jt stay your lane. Stop beg— jt be funny. And by the way, a lot of the rpons I got on Twter and Facebook were jt shut up and be funny.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">kara swisher</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">And be funny.

The armi of trolls are ed to timidate people on social media. So actually, ’s not really a place where there’s much eedom of speech, bee particularly, if you’re a mory or a woman, or you say stuff that’s to the left, you are bullied. So I felt pelled as a human. I was very reluctant to do , and—</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">kara swisher</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Well, worked out well. And one of the thgs I appreciated and you ma the speech was the distctn you ma. And I’ll quote you sayg, “This is not about limg anyone’s ee speech. This is about givg people, cludg some of the most reprehensible people on Earth, the biggt platform history to reach a third of the pla.” I’ve spent years tryg to expla why social media pani n’t hi behd the First Amendment. Why do you thk that’s such a difficult msage to get across?</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">sacha baron hen</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Oh, ’s difficult bee they’ve been sayg for so many years. So they’ve been lyg, right? When Mark Zuckerberg jt says, I’m the fenr of ee speech, he is lyg, right? The U.S Constutn says that Congrs — Congrs, not pani — Congrs shall make no law abridgg eedom of speech. So that do not apply to private bs like Twter and Facebook. If they want to ban vlent rhetoric and harassment, they have every right to do so. And the analogy I ma the ADL was that if a neo-Nazi goosteppg to a rtrant and starts threateng ctomers and sayg he wants to kill Jews, the rtrant owner has every legal right and actually a moral obligatn to kick that Nazi out. And so do the ter pani. So the ia that they are the fenrs of ee speech is ludicro. I mean, they make edorial cisns ntually. They don’t allow nippl, but they did allow Nazis, so.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">kara swisher</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Yeah, they don’t allow nippl.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">sacha baron hen</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">I mean, ’s a lie, right? It’s a lie that they’re g to make money.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">kara swisher</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">But as a creator and edian, the First Amendment is cril to your work. Would you be OK wh Twter, for example, platformg the Borat handle bee ’s not a real person, or addg a disclaimer to a hateful or heated tweet? Would you worry about that yourself as a ic?</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">sacha baron hen</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">No. I mean, if they gave a handle explag that was satire, I thk that’s fe. I mean, Borat is satire. I thk the role of edy is important. It’s not as important or as ccial as rpectg and buttrsg up the fundamental pillars that protect mocracy. So for example, there was a lot of talk by Zuckerberg of him g up the electn about eedom of speech, which, obvly, I’m a huge fenr of. But what about ee and fair electns, which are the fundamental pillar of mocracy? No one was talkg about that, and the Tmp ernment realized that they uld unrme that other pillar. There are a number of pillars that buttrs up mocracy. One of them is prott. So, ee and fair electns is probably the most ccial one, particularly an electn year. And they were pletely unrmg by spreadg the #stopthteal hashtag, and beforehand by spreadg the ia that mail- ballots were subject to rptn.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">kara swisher</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">On January 6th, around 5 p.m., you tweeted at Mark, Jack, San, and Sundar, sayg ’s time to ban Donald Tmp om your platform once and for all. I did the same thg and was que worried about what was about to happen as I saw unfold. Did you thk was gog to get this bad?</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">sacha baron hen</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Y, that’s why I ma Borat. Borat was an attempt of me to do what I uld prr to the electn to filtrate Tmp’s ner circle bee I felt he was so dangero and bee I was nvced that nspiraci would end vlence. I ma a show lled “Who is Ameri?“, where I took a nspiracy theorist who believed the danger of Antifa and by the end of the episo, which was I had spent two days wh him, he believed that he had murred three members of Antifa. It’s a ccial thg where the people who were marchg on the Capol are not necsarily bad people. It’s the people who are spreadg the li and nspiraci. If you believe the nspiracy, then everythg you do om there is logil. If you really believed —</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">kara swisher</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Or have been ma to believe.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">sacha baron hen</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Yeah, if you’ve been ma to believe that Bin was a pedophile and a nnibal and had stolen the electn and Tmp had won, then y, ’s logil to march on Washgton and maybe to try and overturn that vote. It’s the nspiracy theory and those who spread and make money that are at flt.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">kara swisher</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Where do you stop the thg— Tmp should be banned outright om all the platforms, cludg YouTube, which is somethg you’ve talked about a lot.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">sacha baron hen</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Y, I believe permanently banng him. The world’s largt platforms have banned the world’s biggt purveyor of li, nspiraci, and hate. The impact was actually huge. One study, done by Zignal Labs, found that after Twter removed Tmp, there was a 73% drop disrmatn about the electn on social media. So we don’t want YouTube and Facebook or Twter to lift their spensns and allow Tmp back on to spread his li and ce vlence. You know, he still has plete eedom of speech. He has probably more ee speech than jt about anyone the world. He puts out statements that make headl. He n go out and give a speech any time he wants. But the ia that his ee speech has been abridged is ludicro.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">kara swisher</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">You n also make the argument, as several people have to me, is that Hler didn’t need Twter, Msoli didn’t need Instagram. Stal didn’t need TikTok, although I n’t believe I’m sayg that one sentence. But they didn’t need the thgs. And they managed to be as malevolent as they were. Do you thk amplifi the malevolence?</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">sacha baron hen</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">I really don’t agree wh that. I mean, if you look at Goebbels, the first thg he did was his social media was rad. He realized that was the new medium, and he realized that, for example, Atria, if the Nazis took over a lot of the programmg on rad, that they uld make the vasn and the takg over of Atria easier. Fascists and tocrats are experts on new ways of spreadg disrmatn. They need them, and they specialize and they foc on the new media, precisely bee they’re unregulated. So that’s what mak social media perfect for tocrats.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">kara swisher</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Do you have high hop for the Bin admistratn or this Congrs to do anythg, whether breakg them up or changg sectn 230 to remove liabily protectns? I know your 2019 speech, you suggted Zuckerberg and other social media CEOs should get jail time, if their platforms ntued to be tools of vlence or electn terference.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">sacha baron hen</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Y, I thk there needs to be regulatn. In virtually every other dtry, you n be sued for the harm you e publishers. You n be sued for libel. People n be sued for famatn. I’m still beg sued by Roy Moore.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">kara swisher</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Oh, really?</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">sacha baron hen</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Y, that’s another story. But the pani n’t be sued, right? Bee of Sectn 230 of the Communitns Decency Act. Currently, Facebook and pani like nnot be held liable for the ath they e. I thk that’s pletely sane, right? So if you look at how should work, when Mike Lll, the MyPillow guy, for those of you who e his wonrful product, went on Newsmax the other day and started spewg li about the electn, the host shut him down. Why? Bee Newsmax n be sued. But Facebook and social media pani spread the very same li to lns of people bee they’re protected by 230. So you already have some exceptns to Sectn 230. Social media pani, as you know, they n be held liable for hostg ntent related to crimal nduct like pyright gement, sex traffickg, prostutn, and child pornography. So my pot is if they uld be held liable for enablg pedophil who e their se to endanger kids, then why n’t we hold the pani rponsible for those who e their s for advotg the mass murr of kids bee of their race or relign. If your actns onle e harm or ath the real world, you should be liable. I thk ’s que simple to fix this, which is, stead of makg money off li that st liv, I believe that the social media pani should create jobs that save liv, right? There are three problems that I thk you uld solve at once. One, which is even durg the panmic, Facebook and social media pani are makg massive profs by spreadg li and nspiraci about COVID and vacc, right? They are profg off of ath. Two, Facebook and other social media pani— and when I speak to them, they go, Sacha, we’re overwhelmed. How are we meant to do ? There’s so much stuff beg upload every day. They claim that their artificial telligence tch most of the appropriate ntent, but they claim that their real world ntent morators n’t keep up wh the volume. The third problem is bee of the panmic, lns of people are unemployed. So my thought is—</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">kara swisher</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Hire the people.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">sacha baron hen</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Why n’t Mark Zuckerberg— yeah, you’re absolutely right. Why n’t they hire hundreds of thoands of people to enforce their polici as ntent morators? They n afford . General Motors, at s peak the ‘70s, employed more than 800,000 people around the world. Last year, Facebook ma $86 billn, and they did wh 50,000 employe. Facebook uld hire Amerins to help protect Amerin mocracy, hire Brs to protect Brish mocracy, and the same all over the world, right?

The film is based on the te story of anti-war protts held durg the 1968 Democratic Natnal Conventn. Baron Cohen plays Abbie Hoffman, a founr of the 1960s Yippie movement and an activist wh a sense of humor. Hoffman found space for edic stunts even the face of his highly policized prosecutn. I wanted to know what drew Baron Cohen to the project and why he thought the story was still relevant 50 years later.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">sacha baron hen</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">I’ve been nnected to rcerate for 13 years, and ’s been gettg creasgly relevant. And I thk ’s about the power of peaceful prott when standg up agast jtice and the bravery of those people that do that. It’s also about the persistence of systemic racism. The film shows the horrific treatment of Bobby Seale, who was the only Black fendant. And we were actually filmg this prr to the protts over the murr of Gee Floyd. And so, really, ’s a tribute to anyone who stands up agast jtice, om Ukrae to Mosw to Kenosha to Portland. When I read the script the send time, was actually durg the heargs for Brett Kavangh. And the heargs were supposed to be about jtice, but what we saw at the time was profound jtice, to me. Profsor Ford was swearg that her allegatns were te. And I remember one of the mtee asked Brett Kavangh to swear before God that what he said was rrect, and that was enough for the mtee member. And felt like we were seeg two parallel jtice systems here— one a morn one where she’s appealg to fact and proper rellectn and evince, and one pendg on belief God. I mean, uld have been half a thoand years ago. I uldn’t believe was happeng. It seemed like a perversn of jtice, a system that didn’t work.

And I was particularly spired by left-wg Jews who went down South to fight systemic racism. Abbie Hoffman was one of them. He was a guy who was ready to sacrifice his life to fight agast racism and fight for jtice. And also, what spired me was he was a Yippie. His antics and pranks got all the attentn, but he was adly ser. He was riskg his life to fight racism and fight the war Vietnam. But his nvictn was pletely pure, and he was ready to sacrifice his life.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">kara swisher</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">The film’s wrer and director, Aaron Sork, recently wrote that part of the reason took 14 years for the film to be ma is bee he didn’t immediately get Hoffman’s character.

Aaron, at that time, thought, no, he was this fool. It’s tellg that Aaron chose to replite that scene om realy. So everythg else is Aaron’s patg rather than a photograph. He’s g his brilliant screenplay skills to create this wonrful story. But there, he recreat that scene pretty much word for word bee he thks ’s ccial, and so do I, which is unrneath the layers of this clown this seemgly fool is this adly ser, brave protter, who’s ready to risk his life. And the antics were — the more I read about him — and I tried to read everythg I uld and watch everythg I uld. I went down to archiv and heard old stand-up that he’d done. Everythg was tentnal wh Abbie, even his edy. He was very, very fluenced by Lenny Bce. He tried to emulate the way that Lenny livered gags. He was actually even fluenced by Lenny’s trial. That nvced Abbie that they would go to jail. It didn’t matter what would happen durg the trial. The aim of the trial was not to clare their nocence. It was to nvce people back home that the war Vietnam was immoral. And he was g the tactics of the bouffon, which is a type of theater that I studied unr this French clown teacher.

Those wh disabili were allowed once a year. And they would try to put on the plays lled bouffon plays that were tend to be really funny, but were tend to pletely unrme and stroy the powerful and the tablishment.

I mean, sentially, what I do is I pot the mera, and people act as they do. So, some people end up appearg dreadful. Rudy Giuliani didn’t e out lookg great. It’s somethg that I realized very, very early on the first time I did Borat, which was, I took Borat when I was 25 years old to a pro foxhuntg rally. And was a way to get the members of the upper class to really say what they believed about crimals and ethnic mori. I said, my untry, we have Jews. We give them a head start, and we let them n. You thk we should do here? And then, well, I suppose if was fair and you gave them at least 20 or so mut, then y, I suppose that — you know. So was a fascatg sight to me. When I started Borat first, I actually pched as a documentary. So I was gog around the BBC and Channel 4, jt gog, this is a new way to have the documentari, which are tryg to shed light on topics, but —</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">kara swisher</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">On what people really thk.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">sacha baron hen</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Yeah, what they really thk and what they’re sayg behd closed doors.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">kara swisher</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">So speakg of closed doors, I want to ask you about Giuliani. So let me give the ntext. You filmed him. He’s ught wh his hands down his pants after a fake journalist, your -star Maria Bakalova had removed his mic after an terview. Was there any footage we didn’t see? And why did you not wa a ltle longer before burstg out of the closet to see what he would do? How did you make that ll?</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">sacha baron hen</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">So, that was a difficult ll. So Rudy, we were told, was g wh a p, who he employs. As you know, Rudy has a tremendo amount of rpect amongst the NYPD. And we were told that the p would sweep the room. As a rult of that, we built a ltle hiaway for me si a wardrobe. And I sentially stood there for an hour while the terview was gog on. My only means of munitn was a cell phone wh the director and Jason Woler and the producer, Ant H. And so they were sentially sayg, OK, go now. There’s one time I actually went there three tim. The first time was a room service trolley, which we did end up not showg. A room service guy brgs a room service trolley. I’m actually hidg unrneath there. I poked my head out om unrneath the tablecloth wh a sign to my dghter, sayg, “Don’t do .” And she’s like, you know, and sentially, Rudy was slightly spic. He turns around, I had to put the tablecloth down. In the end, I removed that. The send time, I me as a sound guy. And the third time, I me to stop what was happeng. But yeah, I was relyg on the Jason Woler, the director, and Ant H to text me. And the worryg thg was — we’d done everythg to try and make sure that the terview went well. We had hidn meras. Amazgly, by the way, Rudy, the print’s lawyer, signed a ntract which he allows the e of hidn meras.

I tst the dience, and everyone n watch the movie and judge for themselv. But sentially, I had to keep Maria safe. We had an pe plan. I was gog to n down the stairs, but actually, Rudy’s bodyguard gets me and ph me to the room and says, you’re stayg here until the ps arrive. And then sudnly, I’m Borat. Borat don’t unrstand what a chair is. He’s like, what is this mache wh four legs? Sudnly, Borat has a real unrstandg of the law. Exce me, sir. This is my room. I have paid for . Unr the law, you are not permted my room. You mt leave now. And he’s like, no, you’re gog to stay here. No, that is false imprisonment. You are not allowed to. I am stctg you to leave. And then, sentially, I left wh the secury guard. We ran down the steps. Rudy lls the ps, li to them, and says that a feral crime has been mted. And as a rult, the ps search the room.</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">kara swisher</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Yeah, what is the fallout om the whole thg?</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">sacha baron hen</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">I thk tellgly, Rudy has not sued, bee he knows that he would lose.

And ’s far more enjoyable and relaxg to be an actor the hands of other masterful screenwrers and directors. It’s nice havg a trailer. It’s lovely havg craft servic and chattg to the fantastic st of “Chigo 7” between tak. It’s not a fun experience makg Borat or “Who is Ameri?“. It’s difficult.
