Twitter needs 8 weeks to appoint Grievance Officer

Twitter has told the Delhi High Court that it will need eight weeks to appoint a Chief Compliance Officer, in line with the new IT rules. The company further said that it has hired a resident of India as its interim compliance officer, effective 6 July and has communicated the development to the ministry of information technology.

The development came after the HC warned Twitter earlier this week that it cannot take "as long as it wants" in this country to comply with the IT rules. It said that the social media platform "will be in trouble" if it does not appoint a resident grievance officer without any delay.

New Delhi: Twitter has named Vinay Prakash as its Resident Grievance Officer for India, according to the company's website.

The US-based company has been in the eye of a storm over its alleged failure to comply with the new IT rules in India, which mandates, among other requirements, the appointment of three key personnel — chief compliance officer, nodal officer and grievance officer by social media platforms with over 50 lakh users. All three personnel have to be residents of India.

As per the information updated on Twitter's website, Vinay Prakash is the Resident Grievance Officer (RGO). Users can contact him using an email ID listed on the page. "Twitter can be contacted in India at the following address: 4th Floor, The Estate, 121 Dickenson Road, Bangalore 560 042," the page further said.

Prakash's name appears along with Jeremy Kessel, who is the Global Legal Policy Director, and is based in the US.

The company has also published its compliance report for the period of 26 May, 2021, to 25 June, 2021. This was another key requirement under the IT rules that came into effect on 26 May.

Twitter had previously appointed Dharmendra Chatur as its interim resident grievance officer for India as required by the IT rules. However, Chatur stepped down last month.

Twitter has been at loggerheads with the Indian government over the new social media rules. The government has confronted Twitter over deliberate defiance and failure to comply with the country's new IT rules, despite repeated reminders.

Twitter — which has an estimated 1.75 crore users in India — lost its legal shield as an intermediary in India, becoming liable for users posting any unlawful content.

On 8 July, Twitter had informed the Delhi High Court that it has appointed an interim chief compliance officer, who is a resident of India, and that it will make an endeavour to fill the regular position within eight weeks as per the new IT Rules.

It had also said it was in the process of making an appointment to an Indian resident as its interim RGO and it expected to do so on or before 11 July and details would be updated on its 'Help Page' as soon as possible.
