Lorde has revealed why she stepped back from social media. Photo / GettyLorde "peaced out" on social media because she felt like she was "losing her free will". Speaking to Cazzie David for US-based Interview magazine about social media, she said: "Part of what made me peace out on social media, apart from feeling like I was losing my free will, was the massive amounts of stress I was feeling about our planet, about systemic racism, and about police brutality in this country." Lorde previously insisted that she is "working out how to practise activism" while "refraining from social media" following the death of George Floyd in May. It's hard to strike a balance between self-serving social media displays and true action.
