Satra’s reaction to the removal of Iranian apps from Google Play

According to Satra Public Relations, according to reports, Google has targeted effective and widely used Iranian programs in recent weeks. This irrational practice, which began last month with the removal of the Rubika and Magnifier platforms, reached other platforms last week, including other major audio and video platforms, despite initial speculation that it had an internal source. This action is an unprofessional act and shows a biased approach against the progressive direction of the indigenous communication and media technology industry and with the aim of weakening the country’s media sovereignty.

The Tech Sanction, which runs counter to the principle of neutrality as the basis for the development of an Internet-based ecosystem, is pursuing only political justification and has no defensible technical, legal or customary justification, according to ISNA. .

These measures show that the restrictive procedure against Iranian applications is an issue not related to domestic issues, which requires unity, synergy and public cooperation. It is clear that exploiting this issue for or against domestic issues is a wrong and costly approach.

By condemning these actions, Satra is pursuing its pursuit of deleted audio and video platforms. The State Department, the Vice President for Legal Affairs, and the National Cyberspace Center are pursuing an inter-agency movement to realize the rights of tech and industry activists.

“In its first move, the Satra International Unit has begun its correspondence with international regulatory and judicial bodies, and legal action is yet to be taken on Satra’s agenda in the coming days.”

Removal of Iranian applications from Google Play, which started with “Rubika” and later reached “Magnifier”, “Aparat”, “Filimo”, “Balad” and “Niche”, these days with reactions from users Iran and the custodians of these platforms have been together.
