“You see, social media should be a safe space for young people, especially little girls, to be inspired, to learn and connect with role models. Trolls disrupt this function. They seek to deny other space by poisoning platforms.”

Commenting on the increasing vulgarity toxicity on social platforms, the actress called for the young girls’ safety on social media.
