[2021.03.08.Mon] 입이 트이는 영어 Unfollowing or Unsubscribing

[Speaking] Talk about unfollowing or unsubscribing from accounts online
Social media has become very common in our lives. We often follow or subscribe to the social media accounts of people we like. But on the flipside, sometimes we unfollow or unsubscribe from people who are out of line in society. There are times when politicians, celebrities, private companies, or public agencies behave immorally or commit crimes. When that happens, former supporters retract their support and boycott them.
Interestingly, such acts online can spread to form public opinion. This can have an effect on a our day-to-day lives. For example, a foreign clothing brand got some negative publicity stemming from a diplomatic issue. This led to a boycott by consumers, and several local branches had to shut down.
