Yesterday reports came via Reuters Indian Government order to smartphone manufacturer to allow the removal of Pre-installed apps. Now according to the Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar denied this policy Indian Government isn’t planning about this policy.
“India’s IT Ministry is planning in order to mandate that smartphone manufacturers have to allow their users to remove the Pre-installed apps from their device and maybe the Indian Government will do screening on smartphone OS before devices are available for sale in the market” This report is wrong due to lack of misunderstanding.
This story is plain wrong – there is no "security testing" or "crackdown" as story suggests.
Story is based on lack of understanding perhaps n unfettered creative imagination that is based an ongoing consultation process btwn Ministry n Industry on mobile https://t.co/V0G1RRZLJP…
