|"Mitron" App | Taken Down from Play Store | So called Indian version of Tiktok | Makes a prior Connection to Pakistan | Risky For User |

"Mitron" App, Downloaded by Millions of Indians, Suspended from Google Play Store.



"Mitron" App (Supposed to be the Indian Version of Tik Tok) which was downloaded by Millions of Indians with in a week to support the #Boycott_China Campaign, was taken down form Google Play Store due to some prior reasons, which we will be knowing below...


Context


As President of China announced for War preparedness to Their Army and Chinese Soldier infiltrated in the Eastern Ladakh to keep warmth the situation during the Global Pandemic and Economic Slow down, We, The people of India decided to start a campaign #Boycott_China. In this we will be not buying any Chinese Goods and not using any Chinese apps. Tik Tok, Which is a short video platform, very popular in India, is a Chinese app. Recently, Mitron App (Supposed to be the Indian Version of Tik Tok) took on Tik Tok and Millions of Indians downloaded it. As of now The Mitron App was suspended from Play store due to privacy policy.


Connection to Pakistan


Mitron App, supposed to be an alternative an Chinese Tik Tok, seems to be a hastily repackaged version of Tic Tic - A Pakistani clone of Byte dance's Tik Tok. Irfan Sheikh, founder and chief executive of  Tic Tic's developer Qboxus said that "The promoters behind Mitron had simply purchased Tic Tic's source code via CodeCanyon for $34, Uploaded it to Google Play store with their own Logo."


Reason behind Suspension


According to the report, The Mitron App has been suspended for violating the spam and minimum functionality developer policies under the Google Play store.


Safe or not ???


Usually app developers buy source code for cheap and work on their own customization and improvements to quickly launch an app. But in this hurry to make profit on the occasion of #Ban_TikTok, The creator of Mitron supposed to be an alternative an Chinese Tik Tok, seems to have missed out on making necessary changes on the source code of Tic Tic - A Pakistani clone of Byte dance's Tik Tok. Cyber security researchers stated that it is risky to use as the app does not have any additional firewall or software security on top of the source code. The privacy policy is weak and that can put user data at risk in the long run.


Privacy Policy linked to U.S.A.


However Mitron had updated their privacy policy with a document that was incidentally linked to California's Privacy Laws. Hence indicating that it had no effect what so ever in India. As such there is no reason why a respectable app that claimed to have been "Made in India" would have a privacy policy linked to U.S.A's law.

In the latest tranche of Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan package, the key thrust is a huge increase in credit guarantees to MSMEs. How do such guarantees work , and how is the move expected to help MSMEs? Finance Minister  Nirmala Sitharaman  announced some details of the  Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan   economic package on Wednesday. This is the  second tranche of the package  that includes past actions by the Reserve Bank of India as well as the first  Covid-19  relief package announced during March and April. The main thrust of Wednesday’s announcements was a relief to Medium ,  Small and Micro Enterprises  (MSMEs) in the form of a massive increase in credit guarantees to them. There was, however, very little actual fiscal outgo that was announced. In other words, instead of directly infusing money into the economy or giving it directly to MSMEs in terms of a bailout package, the government has resorted to taking over the credit risk of MSMEs should they want to remain in business.
