Who doesn’t love the filters that Snapchat gives us? Chatting with our friends via pictures and uploading stories to show how amazing your day has been going.

But after an ex-Snapchat employee alleged that the social media platform’s CEO Evan Spiegel was not interested in expanding business to India as it was “too poor” for him, all hell broke loose on Twitter.

Very soon after the news broke, #BoycottSnapchat started trending on Twitter, and people unified to uninstall the app from their phones.
