Actress and singer Selena Gomez recently made a heartfelt announcement on Instagram, expressing her decision to step away from social media due to the distressing levels of violence and terror in the world. In her post, she mentioned being deeply saddened by the global news headlines and the prevalence of horror, hate, violence, and terror. Selena emphasized her concern about acts of hate and violence, stating, "I've been taking a break from social media because my heart breaks to see all of the horror, hate, violence and terror that's going on in the world. People being tortured and killed or any act of hate towards any one group is horrific," as reported by etonline.com.
