Twitter on Wednesday apologized to the joint parliamentary committee (JPC) on Personal Data Protection Bill for showing Ladakh as part of China. “We have received an affidavit from Twitter in which they have accepted their mistake of wrongly geo-tagging a part of Ladakh and showing it as part of China. Panel members had asked the officials to furnish a written apology in the form of an affidavit. Members also asked Twitter to explain what action was taken against those responsible for the wrong use of the map. Outrage over the Twitter map, against the backdrop of the India-China clashes in Ladakh, has been widespread.
