The Lady Tremaine of 'Cinderella' is not a fan of social media and selfie culture, 'The like and the dislike is just totally primary schoolyard.'

AceShowbiz - Here is why Cate Blanchett has no Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. "The like and the dislike is just totally primary schoolyard. I cannot for the life of me work out why adults are participating in that sh*t," the Oscar winner said in an interview with Yahoo! Beauty.
"People constantly are taking pictures of ourselves to send them to people to see if they like me, 'Do they like me?' " so the Australian movie beauty explained. "It's pathetic, the whole thing about people worrying about what other people are going to think."
Blanchett, however, admitted there were some good things about social media. "I think it's a genuine way to build community and, we tell ourselves we live in democracies, but really the media runs a lot of the way opinions are formed. Look at the way the election cycle is dictated. It's like a circus run by the media. There's a subversive quality to the internet, and I do think there's a genuine ability to connect," she said.
"But the downside with social media is it divides people really quickly and sets up rivalry and jealousy and a sense of the life over there is better than the life over here," she added.
