    Despite not joining, she does acknowledge the potential from a business angle, having appeared in her skin-care company’s The Outset’s Instagram feed. “I’m totally there. It’s funny and fun and minimally invasive,” she explained.

    so it’s okay as long as it’s your cosmetics company preying on people’s insecurities.

      It’s because a cosmetics company is selling a product.

      If someone follows/responds/interacts with a cosmetics company, there is no confusion about what you’re interacting with. Even if you disagree with the cosmetics industry as a whole, there is no question who you are talking to. If Scarlett Johansson posts something about herself on the cosmetics page, you should never be confused that you’re talking to an ad.

      But if Scarlett Johansson has an Instagram page and that page talks about the new Jurassic Park film, now you view Scarlett Johansson as an ad. And I get that, no one wants to see themselves as an ad. Don’t get me wrong she’ll do a press tour, but that’s someone else being the ad.
