Selena Gomez took the technology leaders on Wednesday.
The 28-year-old singer issued a statement on social media after supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the US Chapter in Washington, DC, to protest the loss of his election for President-elect Joe Biden.
“Today is the result of allowing people with hatred in their hearts to use platforms that should be used to bring people together and allow people to build community,” Gomez said, before naming who he spoke to directly.

In the midst of Wednesday’s historic events, authorities lost control as people entered the Capitol building vandalizing and fooling around, with only one man arriving at Nancy Pelosi’s office. Local officials said a woman (who was not publicly identified) was shot dead inside the building amid the chaos.
Twitter suspended Trump’s account on Wednesday after a series of tweets that didn’t do much to quell the ongoing violence.

“We have requested the removal of three @realDonaldTrump tweets that were posted earlier today for repeated and severe violations of our civic integrity policy,” the social media company said. “This means that the @realDonaldTrump account will be blocked for 12 hours after deleting these Tweets. If tweets are not removed, the account will remain blocked. ‘
Gomez took charge of Facebook last week in connection with reports that they spread false information about the coronavirus, which he says has deadly consequences. She shared a link to a clip of a BBC segment with Imi Ahmed, CEO of the Center for Digital Hate Countering (CCDH), a non-profit organization in London.
In it, Ahmed said that social media companies did “absolutely nothing” to stop the spread of false information about vaccines and other aspects of the pandemic, citing experiments they conducted.
Gomez reacted to the segment in a tweet on Tuesday, saying: “Scientific misinformation has and will cost lives. @Facebook said they do not allow lies about COVID and vaccines to be spread on their platforms.

Gomez previously called the sites following a report (CCDH) that neo-Nazis were able to trade through both sites.
She said: “I am speechless. @Facebook @Instagram how do you tolerate this hatred? There are still accounts even if you have been notified!
Gomez, in September, took to Instagram Stories sharing a DM he had previously sent to Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, regarding the problematic aspects of social networking sites.
“Facebook and Instagram are used to spread hatred, misinformation, racism and bigotry,” Gomez wrote. ‘I call on you both to HELP STOP IT. Please close groups and users that focus on the spread of violence and misinformation of hate speech. Our future depends on him.
