Amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the mounting death toll of Palestinian civilians, a surge of social media users has taken action by blocking celebrities and influencers who haven't publicly voiced support for Palestine. The movement gained momentum following a TikTok post by user @ladyfromtheoutside shortly after the 2024 Met Gala. Although initially lacking a clear list of targets, users began blocking high-profile figures like Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift. Despite their massive followings, these celebrities experienced a noticeable decline in their follower counts, signalling a tangible impact of the campaign. As per reports, Kardashian and Swift, for example, boast 363 million and 283 million followers on Instagram, respectively. #Blockout2024: What Is the 'Blockout' List?
