New Delhi: Microblogging giant Twitter has put out job listings for the three compliance roles mandated by the Indian government’s new intermediary guidelines. The company, which has been accused of failing to comply with the new IT rules, has put up job listings for chief compliance officer, nodal officer and resident grievance officer. The rules came into effect on May 26, and the government had accused Twitter of being the only platform that hadn’t hired these individuals. While Twitter did appoint an interim compliance officer earlier, the individual had resigned within a month. The rules require platforms to trace the first originator of posts and messages within India, which has been opposed by messaging giant WhatsApp.
