Anand Mahindra is known for his candid views and posts containing social commentary but this time he has a blunt piece of advice for social media users who say they are “missing the good old days” when they could share an opinion without the fear of offending anyone.

He wrote, “Don’t even think about signing up for Twitter.”

In that case, don’t even THINK about signing up for Twitter… pic.twitter.com/fYqG2ahFLg

As per Anand Mahindra’s Twitter profile, he joined the micro-blogging site in April 2009. It appears that Mahindra’s advise to people to avoid Twitter if they don’t want to offend anyone is based on his experience. His followers understand this and have responded positively to the post which shows a picture of Jerry, the mouse from the animated franchise Tom and Jerry.

Below is how the internet reacted.

Divide has always been there. It has become more apparent because of easy access to social platform. Earlier the opinions were restricted to only family and friends. The same can be seen everywhere else in world like USA and UK.

People are getting so much emotionally attached to every thing and believe every action of all the individual should be according to there thinking, acceptance and that to without any tolerance .
Thinking before reaction is missing.

Sir, Twitter has become necessary evil. Due to its reach, we cannot ignore though it blatantly controls narrative overriding sovereignty. Unless we have our own powerful product and shut down big tech social media for a month to transit the masses, they will reign.
