Twitter Inc. has complied with India’s new information technology rules, a lawyer representing the federal government told a Delhi court Tuesday.
The government’s lawyer Chetan Sharma said Twitter appears to have adhered to the new laws for now after the social media giant appointed a permanent chief compliance officer-cum-grievance officer and a nodal officer. A local court in Delhi gave the government till Oct. 5 to monitor the company’s compliance and submit a written statement.
