Gabrielle Union has joined a growing list of individuals fleeing Twitter because the social media platform becomes a digital headquarters for MAGA supporters and the unchecked exploitation of user content for artificial intelligence purposes. Union announced her departure on November 15.

“There are decisive moments in life when we must declare that enough is enough. And for me today is that day,” her statement reads: “It was real.”

She continued: “Platforms like X are built on authentic connections, true engagement and creative expression, all anchored in respect for user privacy and trust. However, with recent and upcoming changes to terms of service and the return of volatile numbers, I find myself at a crossroads and looking in a direction that I can no longer fully support.”

The “Perfect Find” actress will remain present on other social spaces like Instagram and Facebook, where she says “inclusion, respect and honesty” are truly valued. The “end of an era” news was met with 1000’s of reactions starting from replies, retweets, likes and shares.

The mass exodus occurred as latest terms of service got here into force that day. In part, Twitter, after changing its name to X, assumes that users agree to the next terms:

“By submitting, posting or displaying content on or through the services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, upload, display, transmit, download and distribute such content in any media or distribution method now known or later developed for any purpose.”

The app may also use tweets to train artificial intelligence, a hot topic that has led to actor and author strikes in Hollywood, in addition to many other debates in regards to the dangerous consequences of using technology in almost every aspect of life. Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion in 2022.

The billionaire tech mogul was a outstanding supporter of Donald Trump, donating thousands and thousands of dollars to his re-election PAC and also being appointed to a quasi-cabinet member within the president-elect’s administration when he takes office in January.

The business tycoon was entrusted with saving the country’s money by cutting federal spending as co-chair of Trump’s newly created Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE – the acronym reflects the name of a Musk-backed cryptocurrency – however the group shouldn’t be actually an actual creation of the brand new department.

Incentives matter. There needs to be rewards for spending properly, but those that waste taxpayer funds can’t be allowed to proceed doing so without consequences. https://t.co/5qupZtMHUC

Much of the interaction in Union’s exit tweet got here from MAGA celebrities. “Don’t let the door hit you,” one user said he replied. The second response was: “You can expect the losers of the culture war to give up and run away to lick their wounds. All along, they were cowards who only wanted to fight when the odds were stacked in their favor. Get rid of the weak sauce.”

Another tweeter asked: “All because Elon campaigned for Trump?” The person was instructed by someone who explained: “Can’t you see the hate and racism that has been rampant here since Elon took it over? Haven’t you read that the new terms and policies will be different? This isn’t about Musk’s campaign for Trump. This is about enabling freedom and a platform for hate.”

I cannot emphasize enough what you might be signing up for whenever you stay on this site the day after tomorrow. This is only one piece of the brand new Terms of Service. You agreed to let Musk SUE YOU FOR MONEY for violating terms of service that nobody reads. pic.twitter.com/Fl82VcZiVF

Like Union, a horde of public figures have signaled their jump ship with the X. These famous names include Quinta Brunson, Chuck D, Yvette Nicole Brown, Mark Cuban, Senator Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Don Lemon, British newspaper The Guardian, Berlin Film Festival, and the list goes on.

Novelist Stephen King he tweeted November 14: “I’m leaving Twitter. I attempted to stay, however the atmosphere became too toxic. Migration to Bluesky, which has a Twitter-like aesthetic, has exploded and the platform’s user population has surpassed 15 million within the wake of Trump’s controversial victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.

Serena Williams still remembers her stay in France through the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. She spent such unforgettable moments there that the tennis star couldn’t help but share a photo from the trip on Instagram.

“I miss my favorite city,” Williams captioned a photo of herself throwing a peace sign with the Eiffel Tower strategically placed within the background. However, when the 43-year-old uploaded the photo, her comments section went viral, with detailed evaluation of her makeup.

The legendary tennis player’s appearance has reignited discussions about colorism and sweetness standards, with some observers speculating that she was attempting to loosen up her appearance.

Comments on social media questioned whether her makeup selections reflected personal preferences or were an try and change her natural skin tone.

Many of Williams’ supporters expressed disappointment, remembering the “chocolate-faced teenager” who won hearts on the 1999 US Open by beating Martina Hingis in straight sets.

Some followers didn’t hold back postcriticizing her glam squad for making her look, of their opinion, “white”.

One commenter joked: “The makeup artist should be fired,” while one other wrote: “This shhh should match your natural color. We are turning into Michael Jackson before our eyes.”

“You girls better fix my makeup or whatever, I don’t like it,” wrote one other, adding: “I love you anyway.”

The fourth comment was: “The makeup on the face doesn’t match the hands and legs.”

Others couldn’t help but joke: “She looks like she’s on YT Girls. Serena, why would you damage your beautiful black chocolate face. Girl, you were the queen of the Amazon. Just stop.

As one fan stated, it’s a matter of judgment and asked who runs her page: “You mean to inform me that Serena actually goes through and selects these photos, posts them, and truly thinks they give the impression of being cute? No, will the true Serena come to the fore now and do some color correction?

This form of scrutiny is not recent to Williams.

Over the past few years, her appearance has often sparked polarized reactions on various social media platforms, with some fans accusing her of using skin-lightening products or cosmetic enhancements to switch her image. The basis of many arguments is her marriage to Alexia Ohanian.

After appearing on the favored YouTube show “Hot Ones,” she was met with an avalanche of comments questioning her personal view of beauty standards. Some claimed that her makeup artist didn’t know what she was doing when painting her face for the episode.

Supporters often got here to her defense. Nevertheless, the scrutiny seems relentless, with each post sparking recent debate and opinions about her makeup, complexion, and even her selection of blonde wigs.

Despite these comments, Williams has largely kept away from commenting on the backlash, as an alternative focusing publicly on her family, health and business ventures, including her WYN makeup line, which she says she uses when she hits her face.

As she enters recent chapters in her life, including motherhood, being a wife and developing her brand, her selections will likely remain the topic of public discourse. Some fans will admire her evolving style, sometimes even celebrating her glam squad, while others will proceed to criticize her for what they consider her crazy white girl makeup selections.

Lebanese designer Elie Saab hired Grammy-nominated singer Jennifer Lopez to perform a few of her hits throughout the forty fifth anniversary runway show of “The 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab” in Riyad, Saudi Arabia, causing a stir amongst fans.

While nobody could deny that the “Let’s Get Loud” singer looked amazing, many found her performance odd, criticizing the producers for hiring her because the opening act.

According to Harper’s Bazaar Lopez opened a show with a grand entrance on a floating platform surrounded by a white, feathered, dazzling arch.

She began with a slowed down cover of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” before moving into her hit “Waiting For Tonight.” Suspended above the gang, she dazzled in a metallic silver plunging bodysuit over sheer tights and paired with sparkling silver high heels.

While she sang songs, the dance floor below was crammed with dancers in Nineteen Twenties-inspired costumes and tuxedos.

As the models marched down the runway, Lopez threw herself into the arms of the dancers, who lifted her high above the stage as she sang the chorus.

Everyday fashion bomb sent a clip from Lopez’s performance, showing confidence sinking into the dancers’ arms. The platform’s 2.1 million followers had mixed reactions.

“Why are you hiring her to perform????” one person asked, while one other commented, “Time to pass this on to the next generation because wtf was that.”

Some were surprised by her selection for the concert, with one saying: “Who books Jenny for these vocal performances lol. Look, she will be able to act, she will be able to dress, but she will be able to’t sing, honey.

Others focused on the tuxedo belly jumper, with one fan saying: “I watched the dive with no sound and immediately got concerned.”

Another added: “I thought she fell. No matter how great he looks, he’s still 55 years old. The recovery would be crazy.”

One commenter was blunt and wrote, “JLo needs to put it down.”

While critics seem to keep telling her to stop doing what she loves and crawl away after her recent divorce from actor Ben Affleck, it seems the multi-point just continues.

In addition to this highly coveted international fashion show concert, she continues to promote her recent film “Unstoppable”, wherein the 55-year-old stars because the foremost character’s mother.

According to her IMDb, she also has two movies in production, “The Godmother” and “Bob the Builder,” and one movie, “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” is in post-production.

Lopez also starred in and produced the film “Atlas,” which hit the massive screens on May 24.

Still, regardless of how heavy and busy Block’s Jenny seems, she’s stricken by haters stating what she wore or the undeniable fact that she had several failed marriages.

The cloud of confusion surrounding Lopez’s life is unlikely to lift. But it seems the “Selena” actress is not letting any of that interrupt her grind, embodying her song “I’m Gonna Be Alright.”
