Facebook users can now choose between five emotives to better express themselves when they hit the “Like” button, a feature that people of Hong Kong have gleefully utilized to show their disapproval of the city’s widely unpopular leader.
On Feb. 26, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, better known as CY Leung, uploaded to his official Facebook page three photos of himself attending a Lunar New Year banquet organized by an employers’ federation. Within three hours, he had garnered over 20,000 “angry” Facebook reactions. By the eight hour mark, there were more than 57,000 fuming red emoticons as opposed to over a thousand vanilla “likes.”
