\n Social media sites are cracking down on a sick online challenge in which people pose for photos with a knee on a friend\u2019s neck in a mock re-enactment of the way George Floyd died at the hands of cops.<\/p>\n

The trend first came to light when three teens were arrested in the UK and investigated for a possible hate crime for posing in the horrific way Floyd lost his life in Minneapolis on Memorial Day.<\/p>\n

But several other pictures have also emerged \u2014 claiming to be part of a \u201cGeorge Floyd Challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

One user even claimed to be a recent Air Force graduate, with some users complaining to the force about the pic, which had the caption, \u201cGraduate Lives Matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

The challenge sparked action from some social media giants, with #GeorgeFloydChallenge not returning any results on Facebook and being met with a \u201cHashtag is Hidden\u201d message on its sister site, Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are aware, and are removing these posts for violating our Community Standards,\u201d a spokesperson for Facebook told The Post, noting it was deemed \u201cencouraging participation in a high-risk viral challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

It also sparked outrage from other users \u2014 with many posting the pics in hopes of naming and shaming culprits.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow is possible that people is dying outside, whole afro community are finally saying out loud that #EnoughIsEnough and \u2026 you came with this disgusting challenge,\u201d one user wrote, calling it \u201cOUTRAGEOUS.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is disgusting,\u201d a user named Ila tweeted, asking, \u201cWho the HELL does this?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you think this is funny, you\u2019re apart of the problem,\u201d wrote @TheRealLadyRaw, calling it \u201cF\u2013KING DISGUSTING.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twitter, Snapchat and TikTok did not immediately return requests for comment.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
