Clean sweep for UAE in golf as the hosts win team gold and Rayan claims individual title
sports3 hours ago
Standing side-by-side with Mark Zuckerberg, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a rock star appearance at Facebook on Sunday, advocating for the political power of social media.
An invitation-only audience jumped to its feet, cheering and snapping photos as Modi strode into a sun-splashed courtyard with Zuckerberg - sporting a jacket and tie for the occasion, in a sartorial about-face for the typically casual campus.
"To leaders all over the world; you are not going to gain by running away from social media," said the tech-savvy premier during a town hall-style question and answer session.
"The strength of social media today is that it can tell governments where they are going wrong and give them an opportunity to do a course correction."
"You will gain from joining it. You need real time information," said the 65-year-old Modi, who has 30 million fans on Facebook and tweets multiple times a day.
The Facebook Townhall had an eclectic mix of questions. Thoroughly enjoyed the interaction. https://t.co/BVEG6w6QLh pic.twitter.com/ZfLtyorb8X
