Founded in 2017 by Abraham Tekabo and Sarman Esagholian, 6ixBuzz is best known for sharing user-generated content, clickbait, and local news in a tabloid format. However, the company has been widely criticized for spreading misinformation, disinformation, right-wing bias, racism, homophobia, anti-Feminism, and perpetuating racial stereotypes, particularly anti-Asian and Anti-Indian hate. This criticism was articulated most prominently in May of 2020, when Mustafa the Poet, a Grammy-winning songwriter and filmmaker from Toronto, tweeted “6ixBuzz pits communities against each other.”
