Twitter India gets ‘one last chance’ to comply with Centre’s new IT rules

The central government has granted Twitter “one last opportunity” to comply with the new IT rules by July 4, or the social media giant will risk losing its immunity as an intermediary, a report by The Economic Times stated.

The notice by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to Twitter came after the company’s “repeated failures to act on the content take-down notices sent under Section 69 A of the IT Act” as well as on “non-compliance notices issued for not taking the content down,” officials aware of the development told ET.

Twitter failed to comply with the Centre’s notices sent on June 6 and 9, the MeitY said in a fresh notice sent to the company’s Chief Compliance Officer on Monday, according to ET.
