Not just Kim, but many others, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Orlando Bloom, Kerry Washington, Sasha Baron Cohen, have decided to close their accounts in protest against Facebook.
According to the US media CNN, the protest against Facebook has started since Wednesday on the issue of disinformation and hate speech.
Note that the Kim Kardashian account is one of the largest Instagram accounts in the world with numerous followers.
“I would love to connect with you directly through Instagram and Facebook, but I cannot be silent when these platforms allow you to spread hate, propaganda and misinformation.” – Kardashian wrote in a post published on multiple social media platforms on Tuesday.
He added: “The spread of misinformation through social media has a serious impact on our elections and undermines our democracy. Please join me tomorrow when I close my Instagram and Facebook accounts for calling Facebook a ‘hashtag to stop hate for profit.’
In July, civil rights groups demonstrated and launched an advertising boycott campaign against Facebook. At that time, big companies like Coca-Cola, Nike, Hershey’s responded. On Monday, the campaign called on organizations and celebrities to protest, and organizers kept accounts closed for 24 hours on Wednesday.
Several days ago, Facebook was unable to download the Kenosha Militia Group page in time. The organizers of the campaign have also pointed the finger at the failure of Facebook in their call.
