\n

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy defended the company’s streaming service providing a platform to the controversial film that landed NBA star Kyrie Irving<\/a> in hot water earlier this year, despite a New York Times columnist telling him Wednesday it could lead to violence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Irving received heavy backlash and was eventually suspended by the Brooklyn Nets after he shared a link to the film “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake up Black America,” that contains anti-Semitic disinformation. The star guard missed eight games while suspended by his team, but many wondered why Amazon received a pass<\/a> for providing a platform to the film in the first place. Jassy, who succeeded Jeff Bezos as Amazon\u2019s chief executive last year, was asked about the situation on Wednesday at The New York Times DealBook Summit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Trying to decide which content\u2026 contains hate content to an extent that we don\u2019t provide access to customers is one of the trickiest issues we deal with at the company. In some cases it\u2019s more straight forward, when you have content that actively incites or promotes violence or teaches people to do things like pedophilia, I mean, those are easy. We don\u2019t allow those, those are straight-forward decisions,” Jassy said.<\/p>\n

“When you have content whose primary purpose is not to espouse hate or ascribe negative characteristics to people, that is much trickier and a very slippery slope if we take a lot of those out of the store,” Jassy continued. “We have hundreds of millions of customers with lots of different viewpoints, and inside the company we won\u2019t tolerate hate or discrimination, harassment, but we also recognize, as a retailer of content\u2026 we have to be willing to allow access to those viewpoints even if they are objectionable and even if they differ from our personal viewpoints.”<\/p>\n

Andrew Ross Sorkin, the event\u2019s moderator, responded that he was personally offended.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m Jewish, I don\u2019t like it. I\u2019ll be honest, I don\u2019t like it. I\u2019m worried about anti-Semitism, I\u2019m worried about what we\u2019re seeing across the country, across the globe. I think some of it may not incite violence in the moment, but could lead to it,” Sorkin said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m Jewish, too,” Jassy responded. “I\u2019m worried about anti-Semitism and I find several parts of that content very objectionable, but I think you have to have principals if you\u2019re going to manage something as large as we do.”<\/p>\n

The film’s description claims it “uncovers\u00a0the true identity of the Children of Israel by proving the true ethnicity of Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Sons of Ham, Shem and Japheth. Find out what\u00a0Islam, Judaism and Christianity<\/a>\u00a0has covered up for centuries in regards to the true biblical identity of the so-called \u2018Negro\u2019 in this movie packed with tons of research.”<\/p>\n

Jassy reiterated that he believes Amazon must allow all viewpoints as long as the “primary purpose” is not to incite violence or hate. He said Amazon honchos has been looking at putting some type of warning label on “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America,” but they are “tricky” issues because so many pieces of content are objectionable to different types of people.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We don\u2019t want to have a store where every page has a disclaimer,” he said. “The reality\u2026 we have very expansive customer reviews\u2026 customers do a pretty good job of warning people when there is objectionable content.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sorkin then asked the Amazon CEO about Irving\u2019s suspension.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“In my understanding, that was a Nets decision, more than an NBA decision. I don\u2019t know all the details around why they ultimately decided to do it,” Jassy said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Irving was widely criticized for posting the link to the film and the Nets decided to suspend him after he had two opportunities with the media to apologize for his comments but failed to do so. He has since completing the six-step checklist the Nets required of him before reinstatement and said he understands now how hurtful his comments were and regrets not apologizing sooner<\/a>.<\/p>\n
