Twitter in compliance with IT Rules with permanent officers in place: govt

Twitter Inc seems to have complied with IT Rules, 2021 by appointing permanent officers as required, the government told the Delhi High Court on Tuesday, ending the long ongoing issue.

“Prima facie, they have appointed Chief Compliance Officer, Resident Grievance Officer and Nodal Contact Person. As of date, they appear to be in compliance,” ASG Chetan Sharma submitted, according to legal news portal LiveLaw.

Twitter had told the Court about the appointment of the permanent officers on Friday, in the ongoing case relating to Twitter’s non-compliance with the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 (IT Rules, 2021).
