New Delhi: On the new information technology rules implemented in India, Twitter said that the company has appointed an interim Chief Compliance Officer. The details will be shared soon with the Ministry of Information Technology. A Twitter spokesperson said that every effort is being made to comply with the new guidelines. The Ministry of Information Technology is being informed about the progress at every step.
Days after the Center issued notice to Twitter, a parliamentary committee headed by Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Friday asked top officials of the micro-blogging site to record statements and submit a report on prevention of misuse of the social media platform. Parliament’s Standing Committee on Information and Technology has summoned several social media giants, including Facebook and Twitter, to present their stand on issues related to misuse of social media platforms and protection of civil rights.
