Celebrity Block Lists Gain Traction Amid Gaza Conflict

Social media users protest perceived silence of celebrities on Gaza war, impacting their online presence and income.

Michelle Yeoh and other Malaysian figures are targeted for not speaking against Israel's actions in Gaza.
The 'Blockout 2024' movement encourages users to block celebrities on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
The movement started after the Met Gala, with attendees like Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish losing followers.
Critics argue that blocking celebrities is ineffective and distracts from more impactful activism.
The Gaza conflict has resulted in thousands of civilian deaths and severe humanitarian crises.
