NEW DELHI, India, July 7, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – Twitter has lost key liability protections in India amid escalating legal troubles for the Big Tech platform around the world.  

In a court filing on Monday, India’s IT ministry said Twitter’s refusal to comply with  

IT guidelines that took effect in May means that the company is now legally liable for user content. Twitter has more than 18 million users in India, one of its top emerging markets.   

The new guidelines include requirements that large social media firms quickly remove flagged content and hire officers to communicate with law enforcement and address user grievances. Twitter has not appointed officers in accordance with the IT rules, among other violations, the government’s court filing with the High Court of Dehli said.
