Group Discussion Topics 2021 : BAN ON CHINESE APP IN INDIA
Theme
- On 2nd September 2020, the government of India banned 118 Chinese apps including PUBG under section 69a of IT Act, 2020 citing threat to national security & the privacy of Indian citizens.
- Earlier, on 29th June 2020, India banned 59 Chinese Apps including the famous TikTok app for the same reason. The government issued an explanation that these apps are illegally exporting data to locations outside India. It didn’t mention the relation of apps with China, but these apps are mostly of Chinese origin or have a major part of investments from Chinese companies. The government gave a chance to these apps to represent their side and submit clarifications.

Impact of the ban:
- As per the Indian government report, these apps are transferring the user data to the locations outside India in an unauthorized manner. This is a serious threat to the privacy of Indian citizens. So, this ban is a step towards protecting the privacy and security of Indian citizens’ data. Other apps will also strictly follow the rules fearing the ban.
- This step will also reduce India’s digital dependency. And Indian startups and established companies will be greatly benefitted in gaining user base.
- Other countries may also take similar steps to protect the privacy of their citizens.
- This step will counter China’s efforts to become a tech giant. The banned apps have a large user base in India.
- The ban will add fuel to the Boycott China campaign, which is intensifying due to the coronavirus pandemic and also because of China’s aggression at borders.
- This move may bring more investment to the data centres in India.
- Many Indians were demanding a ban on Tik Tok too from a long time due to its weak content moderation and the presence of vulgar content on the platform. As Tik Tok is watched by children and adolescents too, many were demanding a ban. Even though the app was banned for a short time a year ago, the ban was lifted later. So, the recent ban of Tik Tok app made many people happy.
- Some Indians are earning income from these apps and some others are employed in their offices. This ban will impact them negatively.
Conclusion
This ban will act as a caution for all tech companies to follow the rules and to store the data locally. And this is also a great opportunity for Indian companies to launch and upgrade their apps as alternatives to banned apps.
Group Discussion Topics 2021 : The importance of netiquettes in the Digital Age
Theme:
- Netiquette (online etiquette) means good behaviour online. As new trends in communications emerged, online communication is being increasingly used. So, the importance of netiquette has been emphasized.
Points to speak:
- Virtual meetings are now a common thing. So, learning the rules of netiquette is very essential for a good career.
- Companies are increasingly searching for information about their potential employees online before hiring them. They are assessing our behaviour through the information we upload on the internet. Our digital footprints are increasingly becoming important in deciding our future. So, it is important to follow netiquette even on social media and other online platforms to get a good job.
- With the proliferation of the internet, now everyone has the power to write their opinions online. Through social media or comment sections, people tell their opinions to the world. But this affects our personal reputation either positively or negatively based on the content we write.
- The general rule of netiquette is behaving online in the same way as we behave offline. Real life and virtual life are increasingly colliding. So, we should treat both in the same way.
- We may not understand nonverbal cues in online communication, especially when it is a written form of communication such as emails and messages. So, good netiquette is to be clear in what we are saying.
- By following the rules of netiquette, we can build a good reputation, which will help in our offline life.
- As even little controversies are going viral these days, the importance of teaching netiquette to everyone is now more than before.
- Netiquette should be taught in schools, colleges and also through crash courses to prevent unwarranted situations such as online bullying, damage to personal reputation etc.
Conclusion:
It is a necessity in the current times to learn netiquette. Schools and colleges need to teach this to students to help them in their social and professional lives.
