Facebook's accidental airplane reaction option is not a real featureAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
Aug 1 (AZINS) If you are one of the few Facebook users who got excited seeing an airplane-shaped reaction option for posts, it is time for a reality check. The airplane reaction was part of an employee hackathon which was visible for few users on Android, FastCompany reported. However, the airplane reaction is not meant to be a real feature. It won't be long till it disappears.
Facebook and its chief executive Mark Zuckerberg were sued last week in what could be the first of many lawsuits over a disappointing earnings announcement by the social media company that wiped out about $120 billion of shareholder wealth. The complaint filed by shareholder James Kacouris in Manhattan federal court accused Facebook, Zuckerberg and Chief Financial Officer David Wehner of making misleading statements about or failing to disclose slowing revenue growth, falling operating margins, and declines in active users.
Kacouris said the marketplace was "shocked" when "the truth" began to emerge from the Menlo Park, California-based company. He said the 19 percent plunge in Facebook shares the next day stemmed from federal securities law violations by the defendants.
Facebook has faced dozens of lawsuits over its handling of user data in a scandal also concerning the U.K. firm Cambridge Analytica. Many have been consolidated in the federal court in San Francisco.
