Tan Sri Tony Fernandes has decided to delete his Facebook account!
The Tan Sri tweeted to his 1.29 million followers yesterday (Sunday, 17 March) informing them of his decision to shut down his Facebook page and that he intends to delete Twitter as well.
He explained that the decision was made due to the "hate" being transmitted on both platforms, mentioning the live-streaming of the terror attack on two mosques in New Zealand that happened on Friday (15 March), in particular.
The killing is New Zealand is so sad. Innocent people who were just praying. But what's even worse is some of the reactions of the media and some politicians. Sad and numb today.
I'm a big fan of social media. But after that live steaming I really have to age a hard think about weather to remain on Facebook.
Tony was evidently serious about deleting Facebook as his page now no longer exists. According to him, his page had 670,000 followers prior to the shut down.
We definitely share your sentiments Tan Sri! Facebook needs to revise the process of uploading and sharing videos on their platforms. It's their civic duty!
