Prepared to work with Parliamentary panel on safeguarding citizens’ rights online: Twitter

Twitter on Friday said it “stands prepared” to work with the Parliamentary Standing Committee on IT on safeguarding citizens’ rights online, even as the panel categorically told the microblogging platform that rule of the land is supreme and not the company’s policies. Twitter India’s public policy manager Shagufta Kamran and legal counsel Ayushi Kapoor deposed before the Parliamentary panel on Friday, amid an ongoing tussle between the Union government and the company over the new IT rules.

During the meeting, panel members strongly objected to Twitter India officials’ observations that they abide by their policy and categorically told them that the rule of land is supreme.
