Facebook names Spoorthi Priya as grievance officer for India

Social media giant Facebook has named Spoorthi Priya as its grievance officer for India on its website.

The move comes in the backdrop of the new IT rules coming into effect recently that require significant social media intermediaries – those with over 50 lakh users – to appoint a grievance officer, nodal officer and a chief compliance officer. These personnel are required to be residing in India.

As per Facebook’s website, users can contact Spoorthi Priya – who is the Grievance Officer – through an e-mail ID.

Additionally, users can also contact Facebook in India via post at an address in New Delhi, as per the page.
