Twitter defiant to laws of the land: Centre tells Karnataka HC

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in its 101-page statement of objections before the Karnataka High Court has termed the microblogging platform Twitter of being defiant to the laws of the land. The case is slated to be heard on September 8. MeitY filed its statement of objections to the court on Thursday.

In the objections, the Centre said, “The petitioner deliberately remained non-compliant and defiant to the laws of the land. Only on the diligent follow up of the respondent No.2 and upon the issuance of show cause notice dated 27.06.2022 the Petitioner for reasons best known to it suddenly complied with all the blocking directions.”
