People woke up on April 25 to find business magnate Elon Musk had purchased Twitter for $44 billion. It didn’t come as a surprise, though, as people were somehow expecting him to acquire the microblogging platform. Elon is in the headlines for a while because he has been consistently posting recommendations for enhancing Twitter.

It was March 24, when Musk began tweeting criticisms of the company. Going back to March 14 when Space X founder acquired a stake of more than 5%, at that point, he was required to report the activity to the Securities and Exchange Commission and, by extension, the general public.

But, Musk missed the SEC’s deadline by ten days. And after this, Twitter’s share price increased the second his stake was exposed, and this angered Space X CEO following which he started critiquing Twitter.

Here’s what he tweeted in a month!

Free speech idea on Twitter

As we all are aware that Twitter holds no hate speech and always suspends accounts if anyone tries to spread hate through their platform. But after all this happened, Musk on March 25, asked his followers in a poll that Twitter rigorously adheres to the principle of free speech which is essential to a functioning democracy. And the next day, Musk asked users if they are looking for a new platform that will include all these modifications.

He also made several nasty remarks, such as suggesting the removal of the “w” in the word Twitter.

Bashing Twitter’s headquarter

He suggested that Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters should be converted into a homeless shelter because no one shows up anyhow.

Google restores delisted Indian apps after government intervention

Google on Saturday restored all Indian apps it had removed.

Published

on

Google has started to restore all the delisted Indian mobile apps on Play Store agian, which they had removed due to a disagreement over service fees. After a discussion between company representatives and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, the decision was made, according to sources.

The step was taken in response to Vaishnaw’s strong statement in which he said that it is not allowed for apps to be removed from the Google Play Store. The minister had said, India is very clear, our policy is very clear…our startups will get the protection that they need.

Vaishnaw  continued saying that he has already given Google a call. They will be speaking with the app developers who were delisted this week. This is not acceptable. The minister said this kind of delisting cannot be permitted.

Ten Indian companies’ apps were banned by Google on Friday, causing outrage in one of its fastest-growing markets. With 94% of phones running on its Android platform, Google holds a large portion of the Indian market. Popular names like Naukri and Bharatmatrimony were on the list.

The main point of contention is Google’s in-app purchase fees, which range from 11% to 26%. Indian startups have long opposed the US tech giant’s actions, believing them to be unfair.

The founder of Bharat Matrimony, Christian Matrimony, Muslim Matrimony, and Jodii, Matrimony.com, expressed shock at the matchmaking apps’ removal from the Google Play Store.

Shaadi. Com CEO Anupam Mittal described it as a dark day for India’s internet, highlighting the possible broad effects on matchmaking services. He also called Google an evil.

While, Kuku FM Co-founder Vinod Kumar Meena in a statement had said that Google was behaving like a monopoly.

Meanwhile, Google temporarily withdrew the famous Indian payments app Paytm from the Play Store in 2020, claiming a few policy infractions. Due to this decision, the founder of the company as well as the larger startup community came together to build their own app stores and file lawsuits against Google.
