Twitter has failed to comply with new rules: Prasad
Twitter has chosen the path of non-compliance with regard to Indias Intermediary guidelines that came into effect from May 26 and has shown deliberate defiance towards the new law, Union minister for electronics and information technology Ravi Shankar Prasad said on Wednesday. There are numerous queries arising as to whether Twitter is entitled to safe harbour provision. However, the simple fact of the matter is that Twitter has failed to comply with the Intermediary Guidelines that came into effect from the 26th of May, Prasad wrote on Twitter as well as the Indian microblogging platform Koo.Further, Twitter was given multiple opportunities to comply with the same, however it has deliberately chosen the path of non compliance. Ravi Shankar Prasad (@rsprasad) 1623823338000Prasads comments come after the UP Police on Tuesday filed an FIR against Twitter Inc, its India unit and seven others in connection with a viral video of an attack on an elderly person in Ghaziabad. What happened in UP was illustrative of Twitters arbitrariness in fighting fake news.
