On the one hand, everyone is very upset due to Coronavirus, on the other hand, the controversy over the death of a black person who has been going on several days ago has forced to change the thinking of the people. Let us tell you that since the death of black man George Floyd in police custody, the US Committee 'Black Lives Matter' campaign has been going on in European countries. Keeping this campaign in mind, microblogging site Twitter has announced to remove racist words from its platform. The company will no longer use the words Master, Slave and Blacklist from its coding language. Also, before that the Indian company Hindustan Unilever Limited had removed the word 'Fair' from the beauty product brand 'Fair and Lovely' and renamed it 'Glow and Lovely'.

The Twitter engineering team has tweeted that words mean a lot. At the same time, we will simplify the language used in our coding to documents. Under this the whitelist can be replaced with allowlist, although master / slave 'will be replaced with' leader / follower '. In addition, the term denialist will be used instead of blacklist.

Fair and Lovely changed their name
Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) recently removed the word 'Fair' from its beauty product brand 'Fair & Lovely' and renamed it 'Glow & Lovely'. For information, let us know that after the thrust of the 'Black Lives Matter' movement in European countries including America, the company thought it right to change its brand name. When the name of the brand was changed, the company said that it has removed the word 'Fair' from its skin care product brand 'Fair & Lovely' and changed its name to 'Glow & Lovely'. According to the company, this brand new name will now be 'Glow and Lovely'. According to the company, the new name adopts an inclusive approach with a positive aspect of beauty.
