Kim Kardashian is one of many celebrities who will sign up for the #StopHateForprofit campaign, forcing her to suspend her Facebook and Instagram accounts on Wednesday.
“I cannot remain silent as these platforms continue to allow the spread of hatred, propaganda and incorrect information, created through teams to sow the department and divide america, only to take action after other people have been killed,” he wrote of both. platforms. ” Incorrect information shared on social media has a serious effect on our choices and undermines our democracy. “
Kim wrote that he “froze” his Instagram and Facebook accounts on September 16 and prompted others to do the same, adding the StopHateForProfit. org on his timeline.
Kim’s reference to Facebook only “after others have been killed” suggests that the company did not remove a defense force organization’s confrontational message to arm political unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after police fired on Jacob Blake. Mark Zuckerberg later admitted that Facebook “made an operational error “by not cutting the organization’s platform” Kenosha Guard “before two Kenosha protesters were shot dead on August 25 through 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse.
The NAACP and the Anti-Defamation League introduced the Stop Hate for Profit crusade earlier this summer, with the goal of encouraging Facebook to be more difficult with hate speech and misinformation.
“We are quickly coming to one of the most important elections in American history. Facebook’s “uncontrolled and indistingcinct” changes are dangerously short of what is needed for our democracy,” the coalition says on its website. “Facebook’s role in the Kenosha Shooting, which has been reported as a violation of its policies many times, is a reminder that converting policies without converting law enforcement means little. This reinforces the fact that lives are at stake.
Other celebrities also joined the crusade and posted the same symbol on their social media pages, adding Demi Lovato, Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Naomi Campbell, Rosario Dawson, etc.
