.world is in the EU. The same laws that apply to inciting hate or violence against "The Jews" or "The Blacks" also apply to "The CEOs". And the same laws that apply to Facebook also apply to lemmy.
CEO is not an identity, nor minority. It's a political and economical position
It should be unnecessary to point this out, but here we are
That's not how the law works.
If anyone wants it a little more precise. Lemmy.world claims Dutch and German jurisdiction. An English translation of one relevant German statute may be found here (§130, but also note §131): https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_stgb/englisch_stgb.html#p1368

I was born into a poor family if genetic CEOs. We've lost our ancestral claims to the shareholders. We used to conduct layoffs from the Urals to the Black Sea. Not anymore.
We were a proud people, passing down strong CEO genes.

The new poors are the most pathetic creatures...
Won't someone think of the poor CEOs!?
No. From the Case of Savva Terentyev v. Russia (police) of the European Court of Human Rights:
76. The Court further considers that the police, a law-enforcement public agency, can hardly be described as an unprotected minority or group that has a history of oppression or inequality, or that faces deep-rooted prejudices, hostility and discrimination, or that is vulnerable for some other reason, and thus may, in principle, need a heightened protection from attacks committed by insult, holding up to ridicule or slander
ACAB, for pigs and CEOs.
Come and get 'em
