Following the swipe, Twitter was awash with praise for Baron Cohen:
In November this year, Baron Cohen accepted the International Leadership Award at the Anti-Defamation League's Never is Now summit on anti-Semitism and hate.
While accepting his recognition, he used his keynote speech to single out Zuckerberg for being the one Jewish-American who he believes is doing the most to facilitate "hate and violence" in America.
"It's like we're living in the Roman Empire, and Mark Zuckerberg is Caesar," he said at one point. "At least that would explain his haircut.
"This is about giving people, including some of the most reprehensible people on earth, the biggest platform in history to reach a third of the planet," he continued, referencing Zuckerberg's argument that Facebook is a platform of "free expression".
"Freedom of speech is not freedom of reach. Sadly, there will always be racists, misogynists, anti-Semites and child abusers. But I think we could all agree that we should not be giving bigots and paedophiles a free platform to amplify their views and target their victims."
