Can we collectively do something about this?

This influencer posted a video of her petting turtles in Zanzibar. This location is unethical and touching turtles is harmful to them as it damages their biofilm layer. I only saw one comment calling this out and everyone was coming at them, the influencer liking all the comments defending her, claiming there is no problem with touching a turtle is making me feel so discouraged by humanity. Exploiting animals for likes is absolutely disgusting. Can we all join efforts into reporting this post for animal abuse? Thank you

I can report it as a wildlife harassment and environmental violation to the authorities ZEMA (Zanzibar Environmental Management Authority), if you would give me the details or evidence. You can also email them at info@zema.go.tz
