Twitter appoints Vinay Prakash as Resident Grievance Officer for India

NEW DELHI: After staring the Centre in the face for weeks, microblogging site Twitter on Sunday partially fell in line, appointing an Indian as its grievance redressal officer as mandated under the newly notified IT rules. It also released its first monthly compliance report in accordance with the rules.

Called the ‘India Transparency Report: User Grievances and Proactive Monitoring July 2021’, Twitter said it received 94 grievances and ‘actioned’ 133 URLs between May 26 and June 25. Twitter named Vinay Prakash as its resident grievance officer in India to comply with the rules and shared his company email on the website.
