Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said the business needed to maintain the principle of being “willing to allow viewpoints that are different from your own.”
While appearing at the DealBook Summit Wednesday, Jassy said the online retailer had no plans to remove or insert a disclaimer to the antisemitic film Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America! that Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving recently linked to in a tweet.
Irving came under fire for the tweet, which has since been taken down, after critics said the film contained antisemitic content. The Anti-Defamation League also blasted Irving and called on Amazon to remove the film from its store. The answer to the question “Do you have any antisemitic beliefs” is always “NO” without equivocation. We took @KyrieIrving at his word when he said he took responsibility, but today he did not make good on that promise. Kyrie clearly has a lot of work to do. https://t.co/0hQ6pEueOPThe Nets suspended Irving on Nov. 3 but lifted it after more than two weeks once Irving issued an apology, saying he is a person who “stands for peace” and does not “condone any hate speech or any prejudice.
“I’m Jewish, too, and I’m worried about antisemitism, and I find several parts of that content very objectionable, but I think that you have to have principles if you’re going to manage something as large as we do with hundreds of millions of customers,” Jassy said. “Again, to me, you have to be willing to allow viewpoints that are different from your own if the primary purpose of the content is not hate.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk suspended West’s account early Friday morning after the rapper tweeted an image of a Jewish star with a Nazi swastika inside it.
