New Delhi: Seven social media platforms, barring Twitter, have complied with some of the rules under the new IT rules that came into effect earlier this week.
As of Friday, companies like Koo, Sharechat, Telegram, LinkedIn, Google, Facebook, WhatsApp had shared details of appointment of these executives as required. Twitter, the sources said, was the only one which had not yet informed the ministry of these details.
In a letter, the group coordinator for cyber-law under the MeitY had asked all significant social media intermediaries to furnish these details along with their address in India and a status report on compliance of these norms. If a social media intermediary claims to be not significant, it must give reasons for the same, along with “registered users on each of the services” provided by the platform.
