New Delhi, July 11 : Paying heed to India s demand, Twitter has finally appointed Vinay Prakash as its Resident Grievance officer (RGO) for the country.
The micro-blogging platform had informed the Delhi High Court last week that it will 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 easing off the ongoing tension between Twitter and the IT Ministry, which now has a new minister in Ashwini Vaishnaw who made it clear on Day One that Twitter has to follow the law of the land.
