Zero Hedge (or ZeroHedge)[a] is a far-right[13] libertarian[18] financial blog and news aggregator.[14][15][19] Zero Hedge is bearish in its investment outlook and analysis, often deriving from its adherence to the Austrian School of economics and credit cycles.[20] It has been described as a financial "permabear".[21][22]

Over time, Zero Hedge expanded into non-financial political content,[b] including conspiracy theories and fringe rhetoric[3][24] advancing radical right,[15][25] alt-right,[26][27][28] and pro-Russia positions.[1][29][30][31] Zero Hedge's non-financial commentary has led to multiple site bans by global social media platforms, although its 2019 Facebook ban[32][33] and 2020 Twitter ban were later reversed.[15][34]

Zero Hedge in-house content is posted under the pseudonym "Tyler Durden"; the founder and main editor was identified as Daniel Ivandjiiski.[23]

Another website that appeared regularly on both platforms was the far-right finance news website, ZeroHedge, which was cited 620 and 770 times on 8kun and Gab, respectively. ZeroHedge is infamous for making controversial commentaries on socio-political issues; during the pandemic, its Twitter account was suspended for propagating conspiratorial claims that blamed the Wuhan Institute of Virology for creating the novel coronavirus.
