Google will not evacuate Saudi government application that gives men a chance to follow ladies

Google is declining to evacuate a Saudi government application that enables men to track and control ladies. 

 App named Absher  has been downloaded more than lacx times in Saudi Arabia

The application, which enables men to allow and cancel travel authorization for ladies and to set up SMS alarms for when they utilize their international IDs, will stay accessible to purchase.

Google said it had investigated the application — called Absher — and inferred that it didn't damage any assentions, and could in this way stay on their Google Play store.

The application, which is claimed and worked by the kingdom's inside service, additionally has highlights which send alarms if a lady leaves a specific region - making it troublesome for ladies to leave without the state so of a "male watchman".

Ladies in the ultra-moderate kingdom should by law have male watchmen, regardless of whether it be a spouse, father, sibling or uncle, who gives consent for them to do everything including considering, wedding, leasing a house, and voyaging.

Google and Apple's choice to have application, which has been downloaded more than one million times, has drawn objections, including from Human Rights Watch which said the tech organizations were "encouraging human rights mishandles".

In excess of twelve individuals from US Congress wrote to Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple CEO Tim Cook on February 21, requesting that the application be expelled.

They depicted Google, just as Apple, as "associates in the abuse of Saudi Arabian ladies" for facilitating the application.

They gave a due date of Thursday 28 February to clarify why the application is facilitated on Google Play.

Ilhan Omar, Democrat Rep, one of the signatories, tweeted: "Ladies are not your property! Ladies are not your property! Ladies are not your property! So for what reason are @Apple and @Google facilitating an application that enables men to track and control ladies' development in Saudi Arabia? This craziness needs to end!"

The subject of Saudi ladies' entitlement to travel was featured a month ago following a 18-year-old Saudi lady fled her family over supposed maltreatment.

Rahaf Mohammed Alqunun said she took her international ID while on vacation in Kuwait and went to Thailand planning to guarantee haven.
