“I understand one’s response is subjective, but Facebook is a huge organisation with global reach, and actually I’m quite insulted,” Ms Murray said.

“I support the campaign unequivocally. I just can not see what the issue is here.”

Ms Murray said she didn’t think twice about partaking in the campaign.
“It was fun, but also meaningful,” she said.
