Comply with all past orders by July 4, Centre tells Twitter

New Delhi, June 29

The government has issued a notice to Twitter to comply with all its past orders by July 4, official sources said on Wednesday.

The Ministry of Electronics and IT has set the deadline, failing which Twitter may lose intermediary status, which means it will be liable for all comments posted on its platform. “A notice was issued on June 27 to Twitter to comply with all government orders issued till date. Twitter was issued notices earlier this month but it did not comply with them. This is the final notice,” the sources said.

An email query sent to Twitter elicited no response.

Twitter has been at loggerheads with the government on several occasions.

On June 26, the microblogging site submitted a list of over 80 Twitter accounts and tweets that it has blocked based on a request from the government in 2021.

The request from the government was to block multiple accounts and some tweets from the international advocacy group Freedom House, journalists, politicians and supporters of the farmers’ protest. — PTI
