While Twitter is a great way to keep people updated, it can sometimes remove a vital layer of privacy protection. This is something that many celebrities are starting to discover, just ask Zayn Malik. One Direction has constantly been in the public eye since they burst onto the music scene, so we can’t imagine that the boys get much in the way of private lives.
Zayn decided to delete his Twitter account when comments from users became too much. If you’ve been sending him messages telling him how great he is, don’t feel guilty! It was the negativity that finally got to him.
Before deleting his account, he tweeted: “The reason i don’t tweet as much as i use to, is because I’m sick of all the useless opinions and hate that i get daily goodbye twitter My fans that have something nice to say can tweet me on the one direction account, x”
We’re sorry to hear that Zayn was chased off Twitter by people who can’t keep mean comments to themselves. We’ve previously addressed cyber bullying and this situation is no different. People should never feel that it’s okay to say hurtful things on Twitter or any other platform.
As sad as it is that Zayn is no longer on Twitter, it was a smart choice on his part to delete his account. Nobody should ever have to be subjected to other people’s spite.
