Insurance companies have launched a new service that allows customers to insure their social media accounts against hacking, loss of followers, and likes. The service, which is aimed at influencers, celebrities, and anyone who values their online presence, promises to compensate the customers for any damage or inconvenience caused by these incidents.
The service, which is available for various platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, offers different plans and prices, depending on the number and popularity of the accounts, and the level of coverage and protection. The service covers various scenarios, such as:
– Hacking: If the customer’s account is hacked by a malicious actor, who posts inappropriate or offensive content, or deletes or changes the account information, the service will reimburse the customer for the cost of restoring the account, and for any legal fees or fines that may arise from the hacking.
– Loss of followers: If the customer’s account loses a significant number of followers, due to any reason, such as algorithm changes, content quality, or public opinion, the service will pay the customer a certain amount of money for each follower lost, and will also help the customer to regain the followers by providing marketing and PR support.
– Loss of likes: If the customer’s account receives fewer likes than expected, due to any reason, such as algorithm changes, content quality, or public opinion, the service will pay the customer a certain amount of money for each like missing, and will also help the customer to increase the likes by providing marketing and PR support.
The service, which has been launched by several insurance companies, such as Allstate, Geico, and Progressive, has already attracted a lot of customers, who have expressed their satisfaction and relief with the service. Some of the customers who have used the service are:
– Kim Kardashian, who insured her Instagram account for $10 million.
– Justin Bieber, who insured his Twitter account for $5 million.
– Addison Rae, who insured her TikTok account for $2 million.
The service, which has been praised by some as a smart and innovative way to protect and enhance the online reputation and income of social media users, has also been criticized by others as a ridiculous and unnecessary waste of money and resources, and as a sign of the vanity and insecurity of the social media culture.
