#Breaking | Centre issues final notice to Twitter in connection with new IT rules compliance. Govt warns of legal consequences if compliance ignored.

Megha Prasad with details.

Govt of India has made it extremely clear to Twitter this is the last notice given by Govt simply out of goodwill & if they fail to comply even now, then the protection they have now from various liabilities will go away: @Shehzad_Ind, Political Analyst.

When all other social media platforms can comply with the new guidelines, why can't Twitter?, asks @SureshNakhua, Political Analyst.

This is about suppressing the voice of dissent (new IT rules): @ashutosh83b, Political Analyst, tells TIMES NOW.

This letter from Govt of India (to Twitter) is very clear -- if you want to business here, one of your largest markets, then you have to comply with the law of the land: @amitmalviya, Spokesperson, BJP.

Consultations for IT Act Intermediary Guidelines started way back in 2020. After a significant amount of public consultations and inputs, the Govt formulated these guidelines: @rajeev_mp, BJP MP.

The new IT guidelines were put in force in February. All companies were given 3 months to comply with the guidelines & we have complied accordingly: @aprameya, Co-Founder CEO Koo App.
