The Transparency Report covering Twitter’s data from May 26 to June 25 this year includes harassment, defamation, terrorism and more.
There is a constant fight between Twitter and social media over the new IT rules and in the meantime the company has released its transparency report. This report from Twitter comes 1 month after the new IT rules came into effect. A month-long account has been given in this report, how the company handled the complaints of the users and what action was taken on them. Along with this, the web link or URL of the person against whom the action was taken has also been given.
Twitter said in its report that, we will publish this report on a monthly basis, and we are committed to improving it over time based on feedback received by the government or internal changes allowing to provide more clear data. Huh.
Twitter took action on these matters
The Transparency Report, which covers data from May 26 to June 25 this year, covers harassment, defamation, terrorism and other things. The report states that a total of 37 complaints were filed, out of which 20 were on defamation.

Twitter said its internal tools and other initiatives helped monitor and act on these complaints. Along with this, an informational report was also issued, which includes the number of government information requests and the number of accounts specified in them.
Vinay Prakash becomes Twitter’s Grievance Officer
Twitter today appointed Vinay Prakash as the country’s Resident Grievance Officer (RGO). Micro-blogging platform Twitter last week informed the Delhi High Court that it would take eight weeks to appoint a Resident Grievance Officer in compliance with the new IT rules. Prakash comes with a public policy background and will work towards de-escalating the ongoing tension between Twitter and the IT ministry. On its portal, Twitter has updated the Grievance Officer contact information for users in India, naming Prakash as their RGO and providing an email contact ID.
