Imran Ahmed at the UN: Social Media Profits from Misinformation, Urges for Regulation

Imran Ahmed, CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, speaking at the UN: In the pursuit of profit, social media companies "make some believe that climate change is a hoax".

"They persuaded millions of people that a vaccine that might save their lives would harm them instead, and hundreds of thousands of those people choked to death in ICUs... begging, too late, for a vaccine that they once had so feared."

"We need to do something. This is a broken market... that is harming people. That's precisely what these spaces are created to do."
