It does not seem that the problems of the social media platform Facebook with protecting the private life of its users will soon end, as the platform has long suffered from constant accusations of spreading rumors and misleading news and not protecting the privacy of its users, and it is now facing a new campaign by a number of celebrities.

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, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Jimmy Fox And Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lawrence and others, but other sources indicate that the impact of the boycott on its economic side was not significant.
