Pamela Anderson, 53, has fed up and is going offline. The actress no longer wants to expose herself to the unreasonable demands of so-called social media, which she sees primarily as anti-social media. Anderson announced her withdrawal, however, on the aforementioned media, accompanied by the unmistakable hashtags #noInstagram, #notwitter, #nofacebook: “This will be my last post on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. I was never interested in social media. “
Sentimental review of her life as a “Baywatch” beauty
In the past few days, Anderson had posted a number of older pictures on Instagram that look like a sentimental look back at her life as a “Baywatch” and bikini beauty. Saying goodbye to installments… Anyway, she explained the withdrawal to her 1.2 million followers like this: “And now that I finally have my real life, I’ll be inspired by books. I will only be free in the great outdoors. ”Sounds like a romantic alternative – nature and freedom is the perspective of the escape into the off-grid.
First of all, it’s only about not wanting to satisfy the curiosity pushed by likes and other rankings any longer. With her departure, Anderson formulated a clear and reasoned stance: “Thanks for all the love. I hope you find the strength and inspiration to find your way. And try not to be seduced into wasting your time. That’s what THEY want and what they are monetizing. Control over your brain! ”In short, social media would be used as a form of mind control.
Instagram as a place for philosophical reflection
Anderson had repeatedly positioned himself politically in recent years, especially on Twitter and Instagram, for example supporting the animal welfare organization Peta or Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, 49. She had visited him several times at the Ecuadorian embassy in London before he was arrested in April 2019. Anderson reacted to the decision at the beginning of this year not to extradite Assange to the USA and used her Instagram channel creatively, namely as a place for philosophical reflection.
With reference to the philosopher Hanna Arendt and her essay “On Truth and Lies in Politics”, she wrote: “If everyone always lies, the result is not that the lies are believed, but that nobody believes anything anymore … And a people, that can no longer believe, cannot choose. It is not only robbed of its ability to act, but also its ability to think and judge. And then you can do what you want with people like that. ”Sounds like a general reservation against Facebook, Twitter and Co.
