Twitter Seemingly In Compliance With IT Rules: Centre To Delhi High Court

Twitter Compliance With IT Rules: On July 28, the court had expressed displeasure over Twitter appointing a contingent worker as CCO and said that the social media platform was in non-compliance with the new IT Rules.

The Centre told the Delhi High Court today that Twitter now seems to be in compliance with the new Information Technology Rules by appointing a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), Resident Grievance Officer (RGO) and Nodal Contact Person on permanent basis. Justice Rekha Palli, who was hearing a petition alleging non-compliance of IT Rules by the US-based microblogging site, sought an affidavit from the Centre to bring its stand on record within two weeks. "Chief Compliance Officer, Nodal Contact Person (NCP) and Resident Grievance Officer have been appointed in compliance with the law. That''s the email that I've received (from the instructing authority). It's better to have an affidavit," Additional Solicitor General Chetan Sharma said. The court said that Twitter's affidavit on its compliance with IT Rules was "finally on record".
