Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe today said that he will not hesitate to use the newly released Facebook Reactions, specifically the ‘Angry’ reaction, against any media institution that does not report the news the way he wants. But not TNL.
Speaking at a press conference Mr Wickremasinghe said, “I was informed by the Minister for Social Media Harin Fernando, who went to visit Silicon Valley recently, that Facebook has given me the power to show a wider range of emotions on their platform. While in real life people don’t take me seriously when I get angry, the new ‘Angry’ reaction icon is quite intimidating and I intend to use it to make sure our media institutions fall in line with a positive spin on Yahapaalanaya. If they don’t I will use the Angry Reaction and they will have to deal with the fallout.”
“I intend on getting a mask of the Angry Reaction made on it so I can use it in public as well.” he added.
Meanwhile is predicted that the most popular Reaction that will be used by Sri Lankans is ‘Wow’, reflecting their real life reactions to Ravi’s hair-raising economic and financial policies.
