**Y Combinator Cofounder Paul Graham Joins Disney Boycott Over Jimmy Kimmel Suspension**

**SAN FRANCISCO, CA** – Prominent tech figure Paul Graham, cofounder of the influential startup accelerator Y Combinator, has announced he is joining the growing boycott of Disney, citing concerns over the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show. Graham stated on X (formerly Twitter) Sunday that his family has canceled their Disney+ subscription in protest.

Kimmel’s show was suspended indefinitely by ABC (owned by Disney) following a joke about the reaction to Charlie Kirk’s hypothetical assassination by former President Donald Trump’s supporters. The suspension came after public pressure, including calls for action from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Brendan Carr, and decisions by Nexstar and Sinclair Broadcast Group to drop the show.

Graham, who describes himself as a moderate, views the suspension as a suppression of free speech. “If there’s one thing history shows, it’s that persecuting comedians who mock the head of state is always on the wrong side of history,” he wrote on X. He also noted the financial benefit of canceling the subscription.

The suspension of Kimmel has ignited a debate about censorship and the role of corporate media in political discourse. While President Trump has applauded the move, many view it as a worrying precedent for free speech. Graham joins a chorus of voices now boycotting the media giant over the decision, adding further pressure on Disney as the controversy unfolds. Besides the Kimmel incident, Graham cited an additional benefit of not hearing his children watch The Family Guy anymore.
