Many individuals and celebrities used social media to document the protests, spread information, promote donation sites, and post memorials to George Floyd.
Following Floyd's death, a 15-year-old started a Change.org petition titled "Justice for George Floyd," demanding that all four police officers involved be charged.
The petition was both the largest and fastest-growing in the site's history, reaching over 13 million signatures.
During this time, multiple videos of the protests, looting, and riots were shared by journalists and protesters with many videos going viral.
One such video was of a destroyed and smoky Minneapolis Target store that the poster claimed was damaged during the protests.

Facebook's decision not to remove or label President Trump's tweet of "When the looting starts, the shooting starts" prompted complaints from Facebook employees that political figures were getting a special exemption from the site's content policies.
Actions included internal petition, questioning the CEO at an employee town hall, some resignations, and an employee walkout.
