It's no secret that the world is divided into two camps: Candy Crush addicts and those who despise getting invitations to play the game. So it came as no surprise that the top-voted question at Mark Zuckerberg's first-ever town hall Q&A session in India was 'How can I stop getting Candy Crush invites?'

“This is where these town hall Q&A's are useful,” Zuckerberg replied with a grin. “I saw this top-voted question on my thread and sent a message to the person in charge of the developer platform to get rid of this issue. There are some tools that are outdated which let people send people invites. We hadn't prioritized shutting it down, but we are doing it now.”

The question had been posed by a user, who even requested Zuckerberg to delete the game entirely. With over 7500 likes, it became the top-ranked comment on Zuckerberg's post announcing the town hall in India.
