Kim Kardashian started a pressure movement against Facebook Inc. to fight against hate campaign on its platforms, Facebook and Instagram, as she freezed her pages for one day on Wednesday, 16 September 2020.
Kim, with 188 million followers on Instagram and 29 million on Facebook had tweeted that she would freeze her two accounts because she could no longer, “stay silent while these platforms continue to allow the spreading of hate, propaganda and misinformation”.
She said that this spread of hate only exists to sow division and split America apart only to take steps after people are killed.
“Misinformation shared on social media has a serious impact on our elections and undermines our democracy”, she writes.
This tweet drove Facebook stock value down by a few dollars. But it went up again to register a $6.27 increase for the day.

I love that I can connect directly with you through Instagram and Facebook, but I can’t sit by and stay silent while these platforms continue to allow the spreading of hate, propaganda and misinformation – created by groups to sow division and split America apart pic.twitter.com/XkxzABn7qw

– only to take steps after people are killed. Misinformation shared on social media has a serious impact on our elections and undermines our democracy. Please join me tomorrow when I will be “freezing” my Instagram and FB account to tell Facebook to #StopHateForProfit.
