Google, Facebook say ready to comply with revised IT rules

Google and Facebook have both expressed their readiness to comply with the revised Information Technology rules that come into effect from Wednesday, even as top officials told ET that the centre is yet to decide on granting an extension of the deadline for compliance.

The world’s largest social media platform Facebook, which also runs WhatsApp and Instagram, among the largest messaging and social media platforms in India– said that it “aims to comply” with the new Rules even as it “continues to discuss a few of the issues which need more engagement with the government,” a Facebook spokesperson told ET in a statement.
