Maybe they will save us poor humans oh my god oh my god My nails oh my .. I’m waiting every day to hear from the LA drama family !! Lol .. right lol !!!

They’re so brave

A statue of this should go up near the Iwo Jima monument

The fact they think we care, is hilarious.

Nooooooo not Kim!

Disconnecting from social media for one whole day - true heroes!

how this is business news I'll never understand. CNBC has become so political it's pathetic. sad

So brave😢

With the entertainment business in the crapper followers and trolls are all these hacks have left. One day off one platform is as much of a protest that they and their advertisers can risk. Weak sauce.

Slacktivism at its finest.

How extremely Brave of them. You got to be kidding me

OOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo pointlessclass

Now this is funny....

this is such bullshit & typical of the crap CNBC promotes. the good news: Cramer, Kernen, Rick the Dick; no reason to listen

deletefacebook

The courage and bravery here is stunning. This is truly like storming the beaches of Normandy. We should all remember this glorious day.

One day... such trauma for them.

For a whole day. That's how rich celebs make a difference. Keep up the good work. 👍

Ah, one whole day...such a statement.

THEIR LIVES ARE SO HARD I CANT EVEN IMAGINE HOW HARD KATY PERRY HAS IT

Lol. World hunger solved

I’ve been doing this since the eagles beat the pats in the super bowl

Who gives a fuck😂

Oh for pity sake....I’m going to not put my picture up for all the little people to see me and I’ll get my friends to jump in so we will be on every mainstream media outlet for free! These “stars” are irrelevant. Let’s move on to something important

Anyone willing to earn extra passive income weekly, dm me

boycott NETFLIX.

Yay!

Who really cares

Sounds like a fucking dumb idea

Oh no. What are we all going to do without their posts?

I don't know what facebook is doing but please keep it up!

sticazzi

Brilliant news . Stop The Hate propaganda now .

Please make it longer.

UGLY beast

A whole day without their input? How did society manage?

Damn. I can’t understand people who follow KK and the alike.

Who care? Why this is news? CNBC should do better than this “news”

One day? That’s a major boycott! 👏🏻

Wow, one whole day...way to go...so proud of you.

All social media companies are failing democracy and not protecting security of the country. Stop it now!!

Make it one year 😂

Was this posted by Kim on Instagram

Now that’s making a stand right there

Instead of posting this CNBC, let’s talk about Jim Cramer calling Nancy crazy Nancy!!! 😂

Who?

What am I gonna do

CNBC is losing it!

boycott NETFLIX.

a WHOLE day?!?!

BRAVO!!!

lol 😂

Didnt they already do this and it accomplished nothing?

Lmaoooo

That is stupid

Oh no! The world is about to end now.

And the ‘Dummy of the year’ award goes to... KimKardashian

Boycott celebrities!!!!

No one cares.

That “is harsh”

Thank you for your service

I hope they would go away forever. I’m sick of them prostituting themselves, and especially their Kids. Jesus just go!

pathetic news. There are so much going on in the world and you are broadcasting this ? Really? Shame on you CNBC. That is the worst and cheep news I ever seen from you. There are people dying with the panadamic, wild fire going on in Ca and what is this BS?

Just one day?

No one need you, go away and never come back to FB or Instagram. Facebook stock up everyday. We live live FB. Who need her.

For ONE day. GTFO

Oh right, but they won’t delete their accounts outright because they make too much money off of those platforms. Cool, cool.

Perfect! Why dont you do it for the rest of the year.....🤣🤣😂😂😂

How brave😰

As meaningless action an action as you'd expect from an unmatched spoiled group

Wow one day

One whole day...no loss

If only it was permanent.

How about for a week or month? It's all garbage Kardashian stuff anyways

Maybe they should boycott plastic surgery for a while...

Now if only she would disappear in real life.

good riddance to bad rubbish

You and Kanye should be boycotted for LIFE by sane Americans

Good riddance. Who the hell cares

Way to stick it to the man..... One day protest.... Gee whiz, why didnt I think of that?

She's old, nobody cares..

Seems to be really effective- Facebook stock up $6.27 today. Keep doing it, I own some of their stock.... Mark Zuckerberg thanks you too...

Hey Kim, make difference and tell people to wear a mask!

One day? Whoopee...

One day? Uh I thought this was a real thing. Why report on it?

We don’t give a shit FireJimCramer

KimKardashian katyperry aplusk michaelb4jordan OMG YOU ARE SUCH HEROS!! GO ONE STEP FURTHER AND DELETE YOUR ACCOUNTS NOW!

One day? Such sacrifice.

Zucks done a better job than jacks plebian ass to be fair.

One day

😂😂😂😂 is this article for real? People are hilarious these days. Nobody cares!

Lol. ONE day—what a commitment.

Omg who fucking cares!

Perhaps next they will do CNBC for insulting one of our most respected women.

Please stay off. Take Kayne with you

FireJimCramer BoycottCNBC

Who cares.

Lol at a 1 day boycott. Clearly they need it more.

JabariJYoung Just one day?

One day? Just one? Useless.

Oh well ... sigh ... funny how instagram has all her followers but gonna boycott now smh ...

This is why there is no change. Oh no one day without celebs, what will we do, let's fix all the problems in the world so they come back! Fucking stupid why don't they do something useful.

An entire day? Wow, that's showing Zuck.

Selfish morons!

$FB should boycott them for 1 month and see who feels the most pain.

One day? That’ll show em.

For one day!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What Sacrifice 🙄

One day? That will teach them.

Big fuckjng deal!

howdooHQ launches next month..decentralised so can't be censored or deplatformed. YT, TT and Insta rolled into one, FB sucks balls.

Amen. Liberal BS

A whole day. GTFO. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤨

Oh the millions they’ve made of Instagram... boo Fucken hooo

Wow, how brave.

This news outlet is becoming an absolute joke. Used to be decent market news, not anymore.

I am going to boycott all of their businesses for a year.

Drivel

Oh wow, who cares.

Why would i care what she does?

One day? 🤣 way to take a stand

😱 against the one that made them ‘famous’? Hypocrisy Facebook

The lengths these celebrities go these days to create change is incredible!

Such bravery!

lol just like the NBA one day boycott. These fools stand for nothing.

😂😂😂

'for one day..'

Kim should do it forever to show how upset she is!

And she’ll be back on the next day shilling her products. The internet made her and now she has a conscious? Gtfo

One day? Serious question: Why is there not any biohazard waste bins for masks & gloves? If this virus is so deadly and contagious!

So brave

Why don’t they stop Facebook altogether

And the value of the company will still rise 😎

Be careful - don’t bite the hand the feeds you

What about your failures ? Why hasn't jimcramer been fired yet for calling SpeakerPelosi 'Crazy Nancy?'

Lol one day

Oh no. Not one whole day. That’s crushing.

Nobody FU*KING CARES!!

²w²

She has a platform and she's entitled to use it, but many of us are simply not interested in the moralizing of a person whose claim to fame is a sex tape. Spare me the whataboutism of Trump once being on a reality show. This is not about him.

Oh no! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Insta is crack to the celebs. They won't be able to stay off even if $FB makes no changes.

Who cares? I don't care, do you?😋

' one day ' ? no wonder $FB still rallied 2 1/2% today

“For one day” 😂🤦🏽‍♂️ pathetic

a one day boycott will do nothing. and she's way too smart to make this permanent because of all the money she makes shilling products on FB.

They can’t do more than one day? I’m on week 4 of all social media except twitter obviously.

Hi, please check out my gig if you need any kind of graphic design

warning 4 our nation.Don't let president fool/or distract U from his disaster&destructive internal&foreign policies as an unfit president.UAE&BAHRAIN has never been in any conflict with Israel. PAL&ISRAEL R main causes of all war& conflict in ME. Deal of century failed miserably.

Oh boy NOW we'll see some rioting!

Jim Cramer is a misogynist. He needs to be suspended or fired.

I'm boycotting cnbc until you fire JimCramer

Oh god what a sacrifice?! Why is this news?

Lmfao please. It would be nice if they stayed off of it forever
