New Delhi, July 2 (IBNS) Social networking site Facebook's Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg, who is currently in India, said the picture of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking his mother's blessing is her 'personal favourite'.

She said Modi, who has 18 million Facebook friends, is the second most popular politician in the world.

"The (Facebook) post with the picture of Prime Minister Modi seeking his mother's blessings is incredible and my personal favourite," Sandberg told NDTV.

She said the social networking site takes the issue of privacy of its users 'very seriously'.

She rejected any attempt made by the site to control users emotions.

"We communicated very badly on the emotions study... We hope users understand that we care about their privacy...We want to be transparent and give users control," she told the news channel.

"Facebook cannot control emotions of users. Facebook will not control emotions of users," she said.
