Social media users are demonstrating solidarity with satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo where at least a dozen people were killed in a terror attack Wednesday.
Using the hashtage #JeSuisCharlie, many on Twitter are replacing their profile photo with a white-on-black image of the phrase, which translates to “I am Charlie.”
More than 70,000 tweets from across the globe are using the hashtag.
“Terrorising people to not tell jokes. Killing people for telling jokes. More important than ever to keep joking. #Solidarite #JeSuisCharlie,” read one tweet from Malaysia.
“Guns run out of bullets. Journalists will not run out of words. #JeSuisCharlie,” read another tweet.
The social media site is also being used to announce rallies in support of the victims throughout France beginning at 6 p.m. (noon ET).
Instagram is also buzzing with shows of support for the magazine.
Bénédicte Huot, who lives in La Seyne-sur-Mer, France, shared a tribute as part of the “Je suis Charlie” movement on the site. “Today, liberty is very fragile, but for me liberty is the one,” he said.
The U.S. Embassy in France has also changed its Twitter avatar to the “JeSuisCharlie” logo.
Some are tweeting “JeSuisCharlie” with photos of four of the victims of the attack, all who were either cartoonists or writers for the magazine.
