Rajeev Chandrasekhar says govt will investigate Realme user data capturing feature

After a Twitter user pointed out that Realme phones come with an “Enhanced Intelligent Services” feature that collected device information, app usage statistics and other user info, Minister of State for Information Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar said that the government will “have it tested and checked.”

Chandrasekhar made the statement when he retweeted the original tweet, which shared the screenshot and accusations against the Chinese smartphone brand Realme. The original tweet and accusations were shared by user Rishi Bagree, who is known for sharing polarising content on social media.
