Google, Facebook and WhatsApp submit details of new compliance officers

Prominent social media companies such as Google, Facebook and WhatsApp have shared the details of their compliance officer, resident grievance officer and nodal contact person, as mandated under the new guidelines for intermediaries, a government official said on Friday.

Twitter, however, is yet to share the details of their compliance officer. “Most of the major social media intermediaries have shared the details of their chief compliance officer, nodal contact person and grievance officer with Ministry of Electronics and IT (Meity), as required by the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021,” the official said.
