Tony Fernandes is a familiar name to locals, and is famous for the AirAsia company that offers cheap airfares. He is also active in sharing through social platforms under Meta, including using Instagram and Threads.
However, now he has taken drastic steps and announced that he will close all social media accounts under Meta, including Facebook, Instagram and Threads.
This step was taken because he was disappointed with the spread of fake news and fraud that is rampant on the Meta platform, and Meta itself being slow or absent to take action. Tony Fernandes' own photos are sometimes used by irresponsible parties to commit fraud - including through false advertising promoted on platforms under Meta.
From a cursory review, it appears that his Threads and Facebook accounts have been deactivated, and his Instagram account is expected to be closed soon.
