Social media influencer and wife to boxer Amir Khan, Faryal Makhdoom, has used her social media platform to raise her voice about the conflict in the Middle East. She recently shared a screenshot of a message she received from an official source, requesting her to discontinue her support for a particular cause.
In her post’s caption, Faryal expressed her determination to continue sharing what she believes to be the truth, regardless of such messages.
She also posted an interaction with an individual on her Instagram account who attempted to provide an alternate perspective regarding a controversial event. In response, Faryal presented a series of facts to counter the arguments presented.
Another influencer, Egyptian Dina Tokio, received a similar communication on the messaging platform WhatsApp and expressed her disapproval of the approach.
These instances highlight a broader trend where individuals have reported receiving financial incentives to alter or refrain from sharing content related to a particular issue. British influencer Cara Watson also received attention on social media for speaking out against a company’s attempt to influence her content in exchange for financial support.
