Just days after the new IT rules were introduced by the central government, Twitter’s interim resident grievance officer for India, Dharmendra Chatur has stepped down from his position, as saying by IANS.
The Twitter website does not show his name, as mandated under Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021.
Twitter declined to comment on the matter.
All these happened just after Union Electronics and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad’s Twitter account was blocked for almost an hour on Friday over alleged violation of the US’ Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
The minister called the action by the US-headquartered Twitter as “a gross violation of the IT guidelines”.
