The latest: Selena Gomez, 28, took to technical leaders on social media on Wednesday after supporters of President Donald Trump violently stormed the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC, to protest her election loss in President-elect Joe Biden.
She continued, “Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google, Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, Jack Dorsey, Sundar Pichai, Susan Wojcicki: You all failed today in the American people and I hope you fix things to move forward.”
The multifaceted animator appointed leaders after Trump supporters staged massive protests along with the Republican congressional dispute over election results, ahead of the scheduled inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden on January 20th.
Amid Wednesday’s historic events, authorities lost control as people entered the Capitol building vandalizing and transgressing, with a man arriving at Nancy Pelosi’s office. Local officials said a woman (who has not been publicly identified) was shot dead inside the building amid the chaos.
Twitter suspended Trump’s account on Wednesday after a series of tweets that did little to stifle ongoing violence.

“We have required the removal of three @realDonaldTrump tweets posted today for repeated and serious 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 the tweets are not deleted, the account will remain blocked.”
Gomez took Facebook to work last week over reports that have spread false information about the coronavirus, which she says has deadly consequences. He shared a link to a clip from a BBC segment featuring Imi Ahmed, the CEO of the Center for Digital Hate Countering (CCDH), a non-profit organization in London.
Ahmed said social media companies have done “absolutely nothing” to stop the spread of false information about vaccines and other aspects of the pandemic, citing experiments they have 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 spreading lies about COVID and vaccines on their platforms.

Gomez had previously summoned the sites after a report (CCDH) that neo-Nazis were able to trade through both sites.
She said, ‘I’m speechless. @ Facebook @ Instagram How do you tolerate this hatred? There are still accounts, even though you have been notified !!
Gomez, in September, took to Instagram Stories sharing a DM he had previously posted to Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg regarding the problematic aspects of social media sites.
“Facebook and Instagram are being used to spread hatred, misinformation, racism and bigotry,” Gomez wrote. ‘I’m calling you both to HELP STOP LIKE THIS. Please close groups and users focused on spreading violence and misinformation of hate speech. Our future depends on it. ”
