Snapchat In Trouble After Its CEO, Allegedly Said The App Is Only For The Rich
Evan Spiegel, Founder of Snapchat, found himself at the receiving end of endless social media ire from Indians after he allegedly disparaged about how is app Snapchat was only for the rich, and how he would not plan on branching out into countries like India and Spain as they are poor. These comments spread like wildfire on the internet and the company came under heavy fire as they went into damage-litigation mode and denied that Spiegel ever made such comments.
This rage by the public stemmed from comments Spiegel is supposed to have made back in 2015 while dismissing an employee’s concern over slow growth in India.
Following this, rants flooded timelines on all major social media platforms and hashtags such as #BoycottSnapchat and #Uninstall-Snapchat trended. Many users downgraded the app on Google’s Play Store and Apple’s App Store and expressed their displeasure at how their CEO was such a bigot.
What’s more, people eager to distance themselves from Snapchat amid this “app for rich people” controversy ended up deleting the app for the e-commerce platform Snapdeal instead. CEO of Snapdeal found all of this very amusing and took to twitter to post saying that having to explain to the public Snapdeal and Snapchat were two different companies was the last thing he thought he’d be doing.
Here are some tweets by Indians who commented after the Snapchat controversy:
Snapchat CEO called India a poor country.
Now a Indian should work hard, become rich, buy Snapchat, and marry his daughter Bollywood style

The atmosphere of this terpene fuse – pinene terpene benefits is honestly good and natural, not too strong but hush clear-cut in the superlative way. It blends smoothly and adds a much bettor flavor chart without overpowering all things else. Equanimous a small amount makes a argument, which says a a mountain around the quality. The packaging was healthy, shipping was connected, and the sound happening felt reliable. Actually congested product and a certain I’d joyfully command again.
