Tech News: India’s sovereignty and integrity should not be intervened in any way. The Government of India has taken bigger steps in this regard. The central government has directed Google to move a Chinese app from the Google Play Store. This video chatting app called ‘Ablo’ is given a strict message to remove it from the Play Store. The debate around the international level video chatting platform Ablo.
The key
India’s Map of India is incorrectly shown in this Chinese app ‘Ablo’. This app shows that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh have been separated from the country on the map of India and Lakshadweep has been completely excluded from the map. This error is not seen as a minor technical defect or technical glych, but it is considered as indication of a direct attack on India’s integrity.
The map shown in this app is contrary to Indian law
The whole issue is being considered in collaboration with the Ministry of Information and Information Technology (Meity) and the Survey of India. And it has been seen that the map shown in this app is contrary to Indian law. Shortly afterwards, Google has ordered the removal of this app by the Indian Information Technology Ministry. Note that this app has already been removed from Apple’s App Store. It’s the turn of Google. This app will be completely blocked for Android users.
This app is controlled by one company in China
This app is created by Massive Media in Belgium, but this app is controlled by the Chinese Technology Company Match Group. This company also operates apps like Tinder and Okcupid. The specialty of the Ablo app is that it has the advantage of real time translation, through which people in the country who do not know the language of each other can easily speak. But behind it was a secret goal of the organization that is now being imagined. This app has been downloaded only 3,000 times in India. But the user has millions. As a result, the Center will not accept any compromise on India’s integrity in this app.
The Government of India mentions the Criminal Act of 9 and the Information Technology Act of 20 that showing the wrong map is a legal offense. Earlier, apps like the World Map Quiz and MA2 Simulator received notice to show the map of India wrongly. And through this, the Government of India wants clear that no interference with India’s border in the digital world will be accepted.
