The Delhi High court on Thursday told Twitter it will not enjoy legal protection if it does not follow India's new information technology rules after the social media giant informed the court that it will take another eight weeks to appoint a grievance officer who is a resident of India. Twitter said it will make its first compliance report public by July 11.
The court also asked all interim officers appointed by Twitter to file affidavits stating they would take responsibility for the duties tasked to them.
The social media giant gave a time frame two days after the court had earlier warned that it cannot take "as long as it wants" in this country to appoint an India-based officer.
