There are two types of people in the Facebook world — candy crush addicts who send invites like there’s no tomorrow and those who want to kill the people sending them candy crush requests.

On October 16, when Mark Zuckerberg announced his townhall and invited questions on Facebook, a person called “Hims Digari” asked “how to stop getting candy crush request? I seriously dont wanna play it. Delete Candy crush game none of us wanna play it”. This question ended up being the most-voted question on his thread.

During the Wednesday townhall, Zuckerberg was asked the same question to which he responded, “This is where these townhall Q&As are useful. I saw this top-voted question on my thread and sent a message to the person in charge of the developer platform to get rid of this issue. There are some tools that are outdated which let people send people invites. We hadn’t prioritized shutting it down, but we are doing it now.”

On Govt table: How to help exporters not lose market share due to 50% US tariff

Business9 min ago

The Indian government is implementing strategies to protect its market share from the impact of high US tariffs. This includes providing support to exporters through subsidies, loans, and credit guarantees, as well as helping them access domestic buyers. However, India's export growth to US is lower compared to its competitors, and the situation may worsen with additional tariffs on Russian oil.
