Mark Zuckerberg could walk on the streets in India and many people may not even recognise the t-shirt-clad young CEO. But there will be very few people who don’t recognise the blue-and-white logo of his creation - Facebook. There are over 130 million Facebook users in India alone, which is much more than several other countries in the world.

It would save women the bother of opening such messages in the ‘other’ folder in their inbox. - Can Candy Crush and Criminal Case requests unleashed on unsuspecting friends be banned? In fact, the only thing we want to crush on seeing such game requests is someone’s internet access (or head.) - Can there be a limit to the number of duck-face selfies one uploads a day? - Will you ever come between anyone and the camera again? After being unceremoniously moved from between the camera and Narendra Modi, has the Facebook chief learned his lesson?
