And the media quoted a group of reality celebrities and social networking sites about their boycotting of the social media platform today, Wednesday, in addition to the photo and short video platform, Instagram, for a period of 24 hours, as they would freeze their accounts during this day, and justified the boycott campaign that bears The hashtag slogan #StopHateForProfit took this step by opposing Facebook's promotion of false and misleading news, as well as hate speech and not protecting users' privacy.

This campaign was also joined by a number of major international companies and advertisers on the Facebook platform to the Stop Hate For Profit campaign, who temporarily froze their ads on the platform due to the aforementioned reasons, and in addition to that, a large number of celebrities joined the campaign, as Leonardo DiCaprio and Jimmy Fox And Kim Kardashian and Henfer Lawrence and others, but other sources indicate that the impact of the boycott on its economic side was not significant.
