Millie Bobby Brown is the latest star to quit Twitter after being trolled. <\/p>\n

The 14-year-old Stranger Things actor was the subject of homophobic memes on the social media site.<\/p>\n

Users added "quotes" onto her selfies and photoshopped her into memes to make it appear that she was spreading anti-gay messages.<\/p>\n

It's not known whether the deactivating of her account is related to the online trolling.<\/p>\n

This is part of a trolling trend, as three years ago some Twitter users added fake captions to pictures taken by Demi Lovato on Snapchat and Instagram.<\/p>\n

The captions discriminated against overweight and disabled people but were nothing to do with Lovato.<\/p>\n

This comes a week after Star Wars actress Kelly Marie Tran deleted all the posts on her Instagram after months of abuse on social media. <\/p>\n

Her fellow Star Wars actor John Boyega has also urged fans of the franchise to stop harassing the cast on social media.<\/p>\n

  • Selena Gomez says when she found out she was the most-followed person on Instagram in 2016 (she currently has 138 million followers) she "freaked out".<\/li>\n
  • "It had become so consuming to me. It's what I woke up to and went to sleep to. I was an addict, and it felt like I was seeing things I didn't want to see." <\/li>\n
  • That's the reason she regularly takes breaks from posting content, she told Vogue in 2017.<\/li>\n
  • Justin Bieber's Instagram followers - which now number 100 million - got too much for him in 2016 when he accused them of online bullying over his then-girlfriend Sofia Ritchie.<\/li>\n
  • "If you guys are really fans you wouldn't be so mean to people that I like," he wrote in a post on the platform.<\/li>\n
  • The problems didn't stop, so Bieber quit the platform for six months. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    • Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley said becoming famous made her delete her social media. The 25-year-old quit Instagram last year.<\/li>\n
    • In an interview with Radio Times, she says she did it because of how bad it is for mental health.<\/li>\n
    • Ridley said: "The more I read about teenage anxiety, the more I think it's highly unhealthy for people's mental health.<\/li>\n
    • She added: "It's such a weird thing for young people to look at distorted images of things they should be."<\/li>\n
    • Cinderella actress Lily James agreed with her comments, telling the BBC: "I'm not on Twitter, I don't want to always have something to say, I want to save that for my life.<\/li>\n
    • "Also I think, especially as a young person, you change your opinions every second, so [you shouldn't] put something down in concrete that's going to come back and haunt you."<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
