The antisemitic film Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America will not be removed from Amazon's streaming service. Jewish groups such as the Anti-Defamation League have prodded Amazon to take down the film because it contains antisemitic tropes and allegations that Jews have plotted to oppress Black people.

Jassy said that Amazon should allow access to controversial viewpoints. "As a retailer of content to hundreds of millions of customers with a lot of different viewpoints, we have to allow access to those viewpoints even if they are objectionable," he said.
Jassy said that Amazon needs to be consistent with its policies. It is more straightforward to take the media down if it encourages violence or teaches people to do pedophilia.
Jassy said that customers do a good job of warning other people when there is a lot of media attention. Jassy expressed confidence in customer reviews playing a role in how the video is perceived, according to the Times.
