Tech blogger Amitha Amarasinghe [1] alleges that Facebook is being portrayed negatively in mainstream media in Sri Lanka accompanied with saucy headlines like “Student commits Suicide over a Facebook photo”, “Facebook love ends in Death” etc:
All of a sudden, there is a huge increase in number of mass media content highlighting the bad side of Facebook and Social Media.
