According to InsideSport, The MEITY has revealed that “Any banned entity can’t operate just by floating new company. This even Tik Tok or anyone else can do. They will have to get permissions from MEITY to operate once again in India.”
This means that PUBG Mobile needs to seek the permissions by the ministry that banned Chinese Apps in order to operate in India even after the new company has received approval by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Mind you! News reports has revealed that PUBG Mobile has been registered as a company with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs on November 21, 2020.

In order to ensure that abuse, harassment and hateful conduct have no place on its service, Twitter has once again expanded its hateful conduct policy to prohibit language that dehumanizes people on the basis of race, ethnicity, or national origin.
In March 2020, Twitter had expanded the rule to include language that dehumanizes on the basis of age, disability, or disease. The micro-blogging website announced that the tweets showcasing hateful conduct need to be removed from Twitter once they are reported. Moreover, proactive detection and automation helps Twitter identify violative content. Twitter temporarily locks or suspends the account if the latter doesn’t adhere to the Twitter Rules.
According to an official blog post, “The Twitter Rules help set expectations for everyone on the service and are updated to keep up with evolving online behaviors, speech, and experiences we observe. In addition to applying our iterative and research-driven approach to the expansion of the Twitter Rules, we’ve reviewed and incorporated public feedback to ensure we consider a wide range of perspectives.”
Additionally, Twitter sought to expand its understanding of cultural nuances and ensure that it is able to enforce the rules with each update to this policy. The following feedback has been received from various communities and cultures who use Twitter around the globe:
Clearer language
Across languages, people believed the proposed change could be improved by providing more details, examples of violations, and explanations for when and how context is considered. Twitter incorporated this feedback when refining this rule, and also ensure that it provided additional detail and clarity across all its rules.
Narrow down what’s considered
Respondents said that “identifiable groups” was too broad, and they should be allowed to engage with political groups, hate groups, and other non-marginalized groups with this type of language. Many people wanted to “call out hate groups in any way, any time, without fear.” In other instances, people wanted to be able to refer to fans, friends, and followers in endearing terms, such as “kittens” and “monsters.”
Consistent enforcement
Many people raised concerns about Twitter’s ability to enforce its rules fairly and consistently, so it developed a longer, more in-depth training process with its teams to ensure they were better prepared when reviewing report. That said, even with these improvements, Twitter recognize it will still make mistakes. The microblogging site is committed to continuing to work to further strengthen both its enforcement process and its appeals process to correct the mistakes and prevent similar ones moving forward.

Google Maps has begun rolling out a new feature to its platform. The search giant has now added a new community feed in the Explore Tab that shows what’s happening in their neighborhood or their favourite spot updates to business services, fresh reviews and ratings, photos, answers to other people’s questions, updated addresses and more.Google is now rolling out the new community feed in the Explore Tab globally for everyone on Android and iOS. With the announcement of the new community feed to Google Maps, the app will now make it easier for the users to find updates and recommendations from trusted local sources. The feed will also show the latest reviews, photos and posts added to Google Maps by local experts and people youfollow as well as food and drink merchants, and articles from publishers like The Infatuation. Like we mentioned earlier the community feed toggle will keep you well aware of what is happening in your area. For instance, if your favourite Mexican restaurant has added a new dish to the menu? If you follow them on Maps, you’ll get their updates in your feed. Similarly, if you are looking for a new nearby hike or a popular day trip near your city? Browse the feed for top recommendations of things to do from Google Maps users in that area. By panning and zooming the map, you can find helpful information for almost any location in the world, thanks to contributions from in-the-know locals. “The community feed brings together helpful local information and tailors it to your selected interests. For example, if you’ve marked interest in healthy food or Greek cuisine in your Google Maps food and drink preferences, you’ll see more recommendations, photos and business posts for that type of dining,” Google in its blog post said.In a similar way, the community feed will also help businesses to connect with customers using this platform. Till now businesses have been using their Business Profile on Google to let the world know about their current offerings and operations, like takeout and delivery options, new online services and the safety precautions they’re taking. But as per the company during the testing period of the community feed the posts from merchants were seen two times more than before the feed existed.

According to a report by Android Police, the feature is available in beta version 10.56.0 of the app and is in the early stages of development.

But considering the price Moto G 5G ticks all the boxes but if you want a phone that looks fashionable and comes with advanced camera capabilities and you are also the pricing is not an issue then you can go for Vivo V20 Pro.

“The community feed brings together helpful local information and tailors it to your selected interests. For example, if you’ve marked interest in healthy food or Greek cuisine in your Google Maps food and drink preferences, you’ll see more recommendations, photos and business posts for that type of dining,” Google in its blog post said.
In a similar way, the community feed will also help businesses to connect with customers using this platform. Till now businesses have been using their Business Profile on Google to let the world know about their current offerings and operations, like takeout and delivery options, new online services and the safety precautions they’re taking. But as per the company during the testing period of the community feed the posts from merchants were seen two times more than before the feed existed. So the feature will allow people to see if a local business is offering a new service, has a limited time specialty or opened outdoor seating.
