The ministry said that though with effect from May 26, 2021, «consequences follow» given Twitter’s non-compliance with rules «however, as a gesture of goodwill, Twitter Inc is hereby given one last notice to immediately comply with the rules
The government on Saturday issued a notice to Twitter giving it one last chance to “immediately” comply with the new IT rules and warned that failure to adhere to the norms will lead to the platform losing exemption from liability under the IT Act. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) said that Twitter’s refusal to comply with the rules demonstrated the microblogging site’s “lack of commitment and efforts towards providing a safe experience for the people of India on its platform”.
