Amid a stand-off with the Indian government over compliance with new IT rules, the Twitter website is displaying a wrong map of the country that shows Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh as separate country.
The map appears under the Twitter website’s Career section under the heading ‘Tweep Life’ section. The section on the career page has a world map. The company shows that there is a team of Twitter all over the world.
This is not the first time that when Twitter has shown the wrong map of India. Earlier in October 2020, Twitter had labelled the Indian territory of Leh in Ladakh as part of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
The Indian government had issued a warning to the US-based platform over misrepresentation of India’s map. The government had siad that such attempts not only bring disrepute to Twitter but also raises questions about its neutrality and fairness as an intermediary. Twitter India issued an apology and removed the images and related tweets.
