Ken Jebsen is the stage name of Kayvan Soufi-Siavash (Persian: کیوان صوفی‌سیاوش; born in 1966), a German-Iranian social media influencer, political activist and former radio host, who is most notable for his conspiracist views. Jebsen rose to prominence as moderator of his show KenFM with the public broadcaster Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB). After an email with antisemitic remarks by him became public in 2011, he was fired for violating RBB's journalistic standards. Jebsen subsequently launched his own web-portal KenFM and an eponymous YouTube channel. There he mainly published "alternative views" and conspiracy theories, such as about the 9/11 attack and the COVID-19 pandemic. YouTube closed his account permanently on 22 January 2021 for repeated publications of COVID-19 misinformation despite warnings and previous blocks. Zeit Online described Ken Jebsen as "probably the best known German conspiracy ideologue".
