New Delhi, July 5: In order to challenge the center’s decision to remove content from its platform in accordance with the new Information Technology (IT) laws, Twitter has filed a petition with the Karnataka High Court.
The centre recently gave Twitter one final chance to abide by the takedown notices issued under Section 69A of the IT Act.
Twitter was informed that it had disregarded two takedown orders given by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) on June 6 and June 9, respectively, in a warning sent by the centre last week. The centre added that Twitter can lose its status as an intermediary under the new IT Rules if it continues to violate the rules.
According to the sources of news agency PTI, Twitter has cooperated with the government’s final notification that was given on June 27.
