Violate new IT rules & face strict action: Indian govt to Twitter

The Union Ministry of Electronics and IT has sent its final notice to Twitter over non-compliance with the new IT rules and has again warned of penal action in case the US-headquartered social media platform fails to comply with the norms. The notice sent by the ministry noted that in view of Twitter Inc's non-compliance with the rules which came into effect on May 26, 2021, "consequences follow".

"However, as a gesture of goodwill, Twitter Inc is hereby given one last notice to immediately comply with the rules, failing which the exemption from liability available under section 79 of the IT Act, 2000 shall stand withdrawn and Twitter shall be liable for consequences as per the IT Act and other penal laws of India," it said.
