Jim Carrey suggests for all users to pull their Facebook accounts. According to the Daily Mail, the U.S. government is not doing enough to stop Facebook on Russia's interface. The actor who played in "In Living Color" and "The Mask" claims that he believes Russia profited off of the U.S. presidential election. He will be dumping his Facebook shares, and he suggests Facebook users to do the same. The reports are that 126 million Americans saw posts related to Russian interface during the 2016 U.S. election.
Jim Carry Tweeted "I'm dumping my @facebook stock and deleting my page because @facebook profited from Russian interference in our elections and they're still not doing enough to stop it!"
Facebook has not responded to Carrey's tweet but the CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that stopping the flow of misinformation is amongst the Forbes 500 company goals. It may be bogus news but 20 million Americans suspected the use of Facebook by suspect Russian account holders. The ad was started by the Internet Research Agency.
Carrey further stated in Fortune online, that 'social media has created cyber-bridges over which those who do not have our best interest in mind can cross and we are allowing it.
'We must encourage more oversight by the owners of these social media platforms. 'What we need now are activist investors to send a message that
responsible oversight is needed. What the world needs now is capitalism
with a conscience.”
