Twitter’s attitude towards Indian laws is very bad
Twitter is also showing a bad attitude regarding compliance with Indian law. Twitter was not following the IT law of India. At the same time, when the members of the parliamentary committee questioned his representative about this, he said that he follows the rules set by the company. On this, the committee had clarified that if Twitter has to do business in India, then Indian law has to be followed. In India, the IT Act is applicable from 26 May 2021, under which every company running Internet media has to appoint some officers in India.
