Delhi High Court Pulls Up Twitter For Delaying Appointment Of Grievance Redressal Officer
ABP NewsNew Delhi: Amid the ongoing conflict between the microblogging site Twitter and the Union Government, Delhi High Court on Tuesday expressed displeasure over Twitter delaying the appointment of a grievance redressal officer which was one of the requirements under the Information Technology Rules, 2021. Delhi High Court says Twitter is in defiance of the law for not appointing the grievance redressal officer. The single-judge bench of the Delhi High Court today said it was not going to give Twitter any protection from consequences of non-compliance, and granted Twitter time as sought for, to get back on the issue according to Live Law. The Government of India on Monday told the Delhi High Court that twitter failed to comply with new IT Rules, leading to a loss of immunity as an "intermediary".The central government told the court that the microblogging site's failure to appoint key officers, even after three months granted to comply with the new IT rules, amounts to a breach of the law of the land.
