Banned for “identity theft,” stunt doubles demonstrate outside Facebook locations

Many stuntmen are accused by Meta of usurping the identity of the singers they are portraying. Several of them decided to demonstrate in front of the London headquarters of the company.

Taylor Swift, Britney Spears and Freddie Mercury reunited: no, this is not an exceptional concert that defies the laws of human nature but a real meeting that took place a few days ago, in front of the London headquarters of the company Meta (company matrix). Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp).

Important detail: these are just doubles of these stars, wanting to make their voices heard with the American giant, accused of constantly banning the Facebook and Instagram accounts of these artists.

Several of the members of this group, headed by Kelly O’Brien, Dolly Parton’s double, claim to have seen their social networks suspended on multiple occasions. The reason? These accounts would violate the rules of the platforms in terms of identity theft.

Accounts “deleted by mistake”

However, social networks are essential for the proper functioning of the lives and businesses of these artists, who use their pages to publicize their work and above all to provide links to buy tickets for their presentations.

The artist also claims that even the real Dolly Parton is aware of her work and has given her consent for her to carry out her activity. However, this is not enough for Meta. While the company tells the BBC it allows such pages, it wants its owners to make it clear that they are similar and not speaking on behalf of the artist.

The American giant, however, claims to have reinstated the suspended accounts and says that “technology sometimes made mistakes and deleted accounts by mistake.”
