A few hours ago, the Ukrainian government recognized Google with the “Peace Prize” . This is due to the efforts that this company has maintained in the fight against disinformation in the current period of war with Russia.
This news was announced on his Twitter by Mykhailo Fedorov, Minister for Digital Transformation of Ukraine . There it also shows a photo of the minister himself presenting a commemorative plaque to Karan Bhatia (vice president of government affairs and public policy at Google).
Why is Ukraine giving Google a “Peace Prize” in the midst of a war with Russia?
It is somewhat strange to read a headline that mentions ” prizes and peace ” in the context of a Russian invasion or special military operation.
And this is the reality, since since the beginning of the conflict Google has participated indirectly in it, by hindering military operations (for example, by hiding information from Google Maps) and by clarifying the Internet of Fake News and disinformation.
Similarly, the search engine company has made an effort to collect donations and send humanitarian aid to the Ukrainian population .
And it is that, conflicts have been responsible for the largest migratory movement seen from within Europe in recent decades.
Here at Androidphoria we hope that such examples continue to be maintained among the greats of the Internet. Meanwhile, we will continue to monitor this and other news related to the tenors of the conflict and Android technology.
