Twitter’s grievance officer for India Dharmendra Chatur steps down, leaving the micro-blogging site without a grievance official as mandated by the New IT Rules, CNNNews18 has reported today.
Twitter refused to comment, media reports said.
A PTI report stated the social media company’s website no longer displays his name, as required under Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021.
The development comes at a time when the micro-blogging platform has been engaged in a tussle with the Indian government over the new social media rules. The government has slammed Twitter for deliberate defiance and failure to comply with the country’s new IT rules.
After interim resident grievance officer for India Dharmendra Chatur stepped down, Twitter has appointed California-based Jeremy Kessel as the new grievance officer for India as required under the new Information Technology Rules, 2021, CNNNews18 reported.
