Meme-Makers Have A Field Day As #TwitterBan And #FacebookBan Trend

Rajasthan Royals also joined the fun with a meme on #TwitterBan

Following speculations that certain social media giants such as Facebook and Twitter may face a ban in India from Wednesday, Internet users have been flooding the platforms with rib-tickling memes. First whispers of the ban came to the fore after these platforms failed to comply with the new intermediary guidelines set by the Central government. Barring Koo, an app developed on the lines of Twitter, no other social media platform has accepted the guidelines during the three-month deadline, which ended on May 25. Given that the platforms remained functional on Wednesday, social media users decided to celebrate the development with a meme fest. #TwitterBan trending? ???? pic.twitter.com/gGM6Pme0Lr Tomorrow, My phone be like :-#InstagramBan#TwitterBan#FacebookBanpic.twitter.com/5Adso4L4el Me to everyone rn.#TwitterBanpic.twitter.com/LsmHf9OZXM #TwitterBan#FacebookBan#InstagramBanAfter hearing news about social media , Facebook , Twitter , Instagram getting banned..Indian parents right now- pic.twitter.com/uNuEUpxNiF Some endangered birds ???? in India ! #TwitterBanpic.twitter.com/sRYmpvtJGP Social Media Influence To Government Of India. #TwitterBan#FacebookBan#bannedpic.twitter.com/tAJe3CoG6z #InstagramBan#TwitterBanAfter noticing #Orkut in trending section. pic.twitter.com/w1YPHDha1m People born after 2000 looking at #Orkut trend pic.twitter.com/mte4kAb2yc If #socialmedia is a family, then #Orkut was the grandfather.#orkut ke zamane wale hai kya koi . pic.twitter.com/d8JndIBp3x One of the first reactions came from the Twitter handle of the Indian Premier League team, Rajasthan Royals. The social media team of Rajasthan Royals seemed quite perturbed to see the hashtag #TwitterBan trending late on Tuesday. Sharing a line made famous by stand-up comic Abhishek Upmanyu, the meme said, “Main Kya Karu Phir? Job Chod Du? (What do I do now? Quit my job?)”. Many users even contemplated replacing their smartphones with a more primitive model, given that they may have to say goodbye to these apps.
