Indian Court Summons Alibaba's Jack Ma for Sacking Indian Employee who Opposes the Company's Censorship System and Fake News Dissemination
The relation of China and India remains tense. The Indian government recently banned the use of the Chinese-owned Alibaba’s “UC news” and “UC Browser” due to national security concern.
The Reuters reported on 26 July, 2020, Indian court had summoned the founder of Alibaba, Jack Ma, to be testified in court, as he was allegedly involved in an unreasonable dismissal of an Indian employed in “UC Browser”. According to this former employee, Pushpandra Singh Parmar, he was fired due to his opposition towards the company app’s censorship system and dissemination of fake news. After facing an unreasonable dismissal, he filed the case to the court, seeking for a 268,000 USD (around 2.08 million HKD) compensation.
According to the news, in Parmar’s 200-page indictment, he showed captured screenshots and accused “UC Browser” and “UC News” of publishing fake news, creating social and political instability.
Also, he attached a list of Indian and English words which were labeled "sensitive" by the “UC Browser”. These included “Indian-Chinese boundary”, “Indian-Chinese war”, etc, indicating that the censorship system will automatically or manually refuse to publish the relevant content.
