Govt vs Twitter: Parliamentary committee reprimanded Twitter – Law of the country is paramount, not your policy, Indian laws should be followed
In this UN report written to the Government of India, it has been said that there should be more discussion in the country regarding the new law brought by the Government of India so that it does not go against international standards. It has been said in the report that India has the right to make rules related to IT, but it has also been said that the lengthy rule will be against international standards.
Twitter is deliberately not following the rules
The report mentions that the IT law is in violation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). We appeal to the government to do a comprehensive review of this. After the new guidelines of social media, the controversy between the government and especially Twitter is already going on.
On the other hand, Union IT and Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has clearly said that the rules have to be followed. The new guideline regarding social media does not restrict the freedom of expression from anywhere. Regarding the new guidelines for Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram and other social media platforms and the subsequent controversy, the Union Minister said that they are free to do business and make profits in India but they are accountable to the Constitution of India. .
