Twitter is fighting a battle over new IT regulations amid intense scrutiny of its platform in India. Meanwhile, a local court in Russia has fined 1.9 million rubles (about $ 259,000) for failing to remove banned content on Twitter. Also, the company’s fine has been increased to 2.79 crore rubles ($ 380,000) for unauthorized protests. Twitter was fined $ 121,000 for a similar crime in Russia in early April.
According to the news agency Xinhua, earlier this week a Moscow court fined Facebook and Google on a similar charge. Meanwhile, the Indian government has retaliated on Twitter’s latest statement, in which the site had raised concerns over a ‘potential threat’ to freedom of expression in India. The Indian government said that the microblogging platform is trying to set its own conditions in India, and wants to weaken the country’s legal system.
The IT Ministry said that Twitter refuses to follow the same rules in the new arbitral guidelines on the basis of which it is claiming safe protection from any criminal liability in India. Twitter has emphasized the need for a collaborative approach to protect the public interest and the collective responsibility of elected officials, industry and civil society, to which the IT Ministry stated, “It is time that Twitter follow the laws of India itself.” “
WhatsApp has sued the Indian government over the new IT rules for the social media platform, while Twitter has requested the IT ministry to consider a minimum three-month extension to implement the new arbitral guidelines for the company.
