Same person appointed in 2 posts: Twitter to HC

Twitter has appointed the same person as the resident grievance officer (RGO) and the chief compliance officer (CCO) in India, the social media company told the Delhi high court in an affidavit filed earlier this month.

After being asked for it by the HC in a hearing on July 8, Twitter’s Vinay Prakash filed his personal affidavit on July 13 disclosing that he is the resident grievance officer as well as the chief compliance officer for Twitter – an appointment mandated under the Information Technology (IT) Rules, 2021.

Prakash submitted that he is not an employee of Twitter and had been engaged as a “contingent worker” through a third party.
