LONDON: Adolf Hitler would have loved social media as a way of spreading hate, according to Disney’s chief executive Bob Iger.“It’s the most powerful marketing tool an extremist could ever hope for,” he told an event, The Independent reported. “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,” he added.“Social media allows evil to prey on troubled minds and lost souls and we all know that social news feeds can contain more fiction than fact, propagating vile ideology that has no place in a civil society that values human life,” he said.He made the comments as he called on US politicians to “reject hate in all forms” in therun up to the 2020 presidential election. “Hate and anger are dragging us toward an abyss,” he said as he accepted a humanitarian award at the tribute dinner in Los Angeles, Variety magazine reported.“In the last few years, we have been harshly reminded that hate takes many forms, sometimes disguising itself as more socially acceptable expression like fear or resentment or contempt. It is consuming our public discourse and shaping our country and culture into something that is wholly unrecognisable to those of us who still believe in civility, human rights and basic decency,” he said.
