I am hearimg that Facebbok is asking people who post from India in any language other than Hindi "If you post in Hindi you will get more likes". Yjis is outrageous. Please please go to this page and tell them what you think about it.

>>>I don't understand. Is Facebook encouraging people to post in Hindi or are they stating a stat about Hindi posts getting more 'likes'?

As I understand it, when someone posts in Tamil from Chennai, a message comes up and says "If you post in Hindi, you will get more likes". I am suirprised that Facebook would do that. Can someone in India post in any language other than Hindi (including English) and see if it happens. The incident seems to have happened in Chennai.



To me it seems like Facebook encouraging non-Hindis to post in Hindi.

>>>The message, if true, seems to be stating an observation. I am not sure why, but what would Facebook's reason to be encouraging Hindi posts?
