@Siliconeer #Siliconeer #Facebook #SnapChat #MarkZuckerberg #SiliconValley #India @TiESV #TiESV #IndianAmerican #Tech #Community #AnthonyPompliano #EvanSpiegel \u2013 Facebook does innovation to serve \u201ceveryone\u201d in the community and not just the \u201chigh end,\u201d its CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in an apparent swipe at Snapchat boss\u2019 reported \u201cpoor countries\u201d remark that triggered a controversy in India.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI think one thing that people probably don\u2019t think about as much as we do is innovation to serve everyone in the community, not just the high end, right?,\u201d Zuckerberg told TechCrunch on the sidelines of the annual Facebook Developer Conference (F8) at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California, April 18.<\/p>\n

When asked about the perception of Facebook being less innovative, Zuckerberg said, \u201cI guess I\u2019m not that worried about that. I mean, I feel like we do different kinds of work in different areas. I mean, I think certainly, no one who looks at the solar-powered planes that we\u2019re building or the satellites that we\u2019re making, and thinks that that stuff isn\u2019t interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zuckerbeg, 32, said, \u201cWe focus on a lot of things like Facebook Lite. It\u2019s up to 200 million people in like a year…I tend to worry more and think more about the substance of what our community actually wants,\u201d TechCrunch reported.<\/p>\n

Snapchat is strongly denying allegations by a former employee Anthony Pompliano, who alleged in a lawsuit that Spiegel had once shot down his suggestion to pursue growth in certain international markets.<\/p>\n

Pompliano alleged that Spiegel said Snapchat is \u201conly for rich people\u201d and that he didnt want to \u201cexpand into poor countries like India and Spain.<\/p>\n

Snapchat had refuted the reported claims of a former employee who alleged that its CEO Evan Spiegel made negative comments about the Indian market, saying the multimedia mobile app is for everyone and the company is \u201cgrateful\u201d to its Indian users.<\/p>\n

Spiegels remarks caused an uproar in India where users are quickly uninstalling the Snapchat app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
