He said: “Hitler would have loved social media. It’s the most powerful marketing tool an extremist could ever hope for.
“Hate is consuming our public discourse and shaping our culture into something that is wholly unrecognisable to those of us who still believe in stability, human rights and basic decency.”
Iger brought up the Nazi leader during a speech at the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s annual National Tribute Dinner in California.
The Walt Disney Company chairman added: “Social media creates a false sense that everyone shares the same opinion. It allows evil to prey on troubled minds and lost souls, and we all know that social news feeds can contain more fiction than fact.”
