Kim Kardashian West joins Facebook and Instagram boycott

Kim Kardashian West and dozens of other celebrities have announced they will freeze their social media accounts to protest against the spread of "Hate, propaganda and misinformation". "Misinformation shared on social media has a serious impact," Kardashian West wrote in a statement on Tuesday. The organisers of the #StopHateforProfit campaign, which was launched in June, accuse Facebook and Instagram of not doing enough to stop hate speech and disinformation.
