Brands, social media platforms join in expressing solidarity with France
Many organizations and public figures used social media to offer condolences after the terrorist attacks in Paris. Digital platforms afforded users ways to express their grief.
On Monday, French President François Hollande gathered with government officials and French citizens for a nationwide moment of silence after terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday night killed at least 129 people.
The moment was broadcast across Twitter, Facebook and news organizations’ websites, but it was far from the only online memorial.
Brands respond in solidarity
Several organizations also observed moments of silence honoring the victims of the Paris attacks. The Manchester United soccer franchise and National Football League teams were among the many sharing those solemn moments on social media:
