said the time has come to shut down his Twitter account, saying that social media has become an angry place.
“Having closed Facebook time is coming to shut down Twitter. Bene such a fan but too much negativity and falsehood and anger. It’s been an amazing ride. Feel much better now not on Facebook and am sure will be even better without Twitter. Social media has become an angry place,” he said in a tweet Sunday .
In March last year, Fernandes closed his Facebook account, citing"hate" being transmitted on the networks after the live-streaming of the terror attack on two mosques in New Zealand."The amount of hate that goes on in social media sometimes outweighs the good," the AirAsia Group Bhd chief executive officer had said in a Twitter post on March 17 last year.Fernandes has about 1.3 million followers on Twitter and has tweeted more than 21,400 times since joining in 2008.
