Intermediaries get a safe harbor protection under Section 79. This is conditional on them not modifying the content or initiating the transmission or selecting the receiver of the transmission.
It is also reliant on intermediaries discharging the due diligence requirements under the Act and under the Intermediary Guidelines Rules, 2021.
Safe harbor is a defense taken by intermediaries before court in case of liability arising from user generated content like Tweets.
Twitter has stated that they have taken steps to comply with the Rules, including appointing an interim Chief Compliance Officer.

Whether these steps are sufficient is a question of fact and interpretation of law.
The question of safe harbor protection has to be determined by a Court of law and not declared by the Government.
