Shareholder Pushback on Hate

This week on TALKENOMICS, we're joined by Ari Hoffnung, JLens Managing Director and Senior Advisor on Corporate Advocacy with the Anti-Defamation League and one of Time’s 100 most influential people of 2025. Hoffnung is part of a bold campaign urging Meta shareholders to support a proposal demanding transparency on how the tech giant handles hate speech—especially antisemitism—across its platforms. We dive into why this shareholder vote matters, the rising tide of online hate, and how financial pressure can be a force for accountability in Big Tech. Hoffnung also shares his perspective on the ADL’s evolving strategy and what’s at stake for democracy, business, and public trust in the digital age.
