#DeactiDay: The growing Twitter movement urging users to delete their accounts over Alex Jones

August 15, 2018

Some prominent Twitter users are giving the company’s CEO Jack Dorsey an ultimatum: it’s either us or Alex Jones.

There is a growing movement in various circles on Twitter to make this Friday, August 17th “D-Day” or “#DeactiDay” on the service. 

The movement launched when designer Mike Monteiro, who’s been a longtime critic of the way Jack has run the platform, shared an image with the rallying cry urging users to “show Twitter you won’t be part of a place that tolerates bigotry and abusive information, specifically from Alex Jones.”

Next Friday. We’re out. The only thing Twitter cares about is engagement. Let’s stop giving it to them. Reclaim your life. Reclaim your blood pressure. Reclaim your mental health. Please help spread the message#DeactiDay pic.twitter.com/Y6TVMHyQfa
