She continued, "Misinformation shared on social media has a serious impact on our elections and undermines our democracy."

The makeup mogul added, "Please join me tomorrow when I will be “freezing” my Instagram and FB account to tell Facebook to #StopHateForProfit. Link in bio for more info on how to preserve truth."

Othe celebrities coming together for the same cause, include Demi Lovato, Kerry Washington, Leonardo DiCaprio and Katy Perry.
