While it is not clear which posts were flagged off or removed by Prasad under the DMCA, the Union IT minister mentioned that this was because of clips of his interviews with news channels posted on Twitter “and its powerful Ravi Shankar Prasad said in a series of tweets, “Furthermore, in the last several years, no television channel or any anchor has been asked about copyright infringement in respect of these news clips of my interviews shared on social media. Haven’t made any complaints.”
What is Twitter’s copyright policy
Twitter’s Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) may be enforced by copyright users to prevent online use of their Content without their consent. Twitter responds to copyright complaints submitted under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). Section 512 of the DMCA outlines the statutory requirements required to formally report copyright infringement, as well as providing instructions on how an affected party may appeal its removal by submitting a complaint counter-notice.
Twitter will then respond to reports of alleged copyright infringement, including allegations related to the unofficial use of a copyrighted image as a profile or header photo, from the unofficial use of a copyrighted video or image uploaded through a media hosting service. Tweets containing related allegations, or links, allegedly contain infringing material. Note that not all unofficial use of copyrighted material is considered infringement.
If you are concerned about the use of your brand or organization name, please refer to Twitter’s trademark policy. If you’re concerned about parody, newsfeed, commentary or fan accounts, these aren’t usually copyright issues. If you receive a copyright complaint, it means that access to the content described in the complaint has been restricted. In such a situation, make sure that you are monitoring the email address associated with your Twitter account.
Koo gave this response
Social platform Koo has registered its reaction on Twitter’s action. In a statement, Koo said, “The user is required to provide full context and accurate information of any claimed violations. The User must also be able to contest or acknowledge the infringement claimed. Without the above direct action of suspension, it appears that any social media platform is taking the final decision and is not an arbiter.”
Twitter and Indian government face to face on new IT rules
Obviously, Twitter and the Indian government are face to face with India’s new IT guidelines. Under the new IT rules, social media platforms with over 50 lakh users will have to appoint a grievance officer, a nodal officer and a chief compliance officer in India. Earlier this month, the central government had given Twitter one last chance to comply with the new rules and sternly reminded that failure to comply with the norms would exempt the platform from liability under the IT Act.
