Twitter begins review of govt orders to take down content

Twitter is planning to consider some orders made by the Indian government to take down content on the platform, a source reported. The matter has come to the fore in a legal challenge, which alleges abuse of power by government officials. The government had early said that Twitter has not complied with removal requests, despite their legal standing.

The social media platform has, however, complied with the final notice issued by the Ministry of Electronics and IT on June 27. The Ministry of Electronics and IT had earlier set a deadline of July 4, failing which Twitter could have lost the intermediary status, which means it would have been liable for all the comments posted on its platform. Twitter declined to comment on the matter.
