Social media giants are getting the wrong end of the stick from netizens — and there seems to be a good reason for that. Facebook — now known as Meta — was under fire for the way it handled user data.

Even Twitter has got quite a battering – and the Musk of the two Ts, Tesla and Twitter, has apparently been responsible for the popularity of the Net giant going downhill.

This according to a report in a section of the Indian media, quoting a CNBC news dispatch mentioning the results of a survey.
