Amid a fight, new IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw warns Twitter that the land law is supreme.

According to new IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnav, who issued a harsh warning to Twitter on Thursday, the nation’s law reigns supreme, demanding the social media behemoth to abide by the regulations.

The announcement comes amid a fight between Twitter and the government over new IT laws that make social media platforms more responsible for third-party material.

Earlier in the day, the microblogging site informed the Delhi High Court that it would take eight weeks to recruit any Indian citizen as a grievance commissioner, as required by the new legislation. 

The court had accused Twitter of deceiving it on Tuesday by failing to tell it that the Grievance Officer assigned was temporary. The charge comes a day after the Centre informed the Delhi High Court that the social media behemoth had failed to comply with India’s new IT Rules, resulting in the loss of its IT Act protection.

Before an affidavit submitted in the high court, the Centre stated that, based on information received from Twitter’s website or mobile application, the platform’s official in the US is handling India’s concerns in the interim, which amounts to non-compliance the IT Rules, 2021.

ACCORDING TO AN AFFIDAVIT SUBMITTED IN RESPONSE TO A PETITION FILED BY LAWYER AMIT ACHARYA, the IT Rules, 2021 is the law nation, and Twitter is obligated to follow them, who alleged that Twitter was not following the Centre’s new IT Rules.

On Tuesday, the Delhi High Court stated that Twitter cannot take as long as it wants to appoint a Resident Grievance Officer and that it expects the microblogging site to tell it on Thursday about its position “regarding compliance with all other requirements” of the IT Rules, 2021.

India’s new IT guidelines, which went into force at the end of May, aim to regulate material on social media platforms and make them more responsible for legal requests for the prompt removal of posts and providing information on message originators.

Former Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad blasted Twitter for breaking the law on purpose, saying that all social media companies must follow the new guidelines.
