Twitter has outlined how it intends to “fully comply” with India’s new social media rules after the government said its lack of compliance meant it could be held legally liable for its user’s posts, Bloomberg reports. In response to the government’s filing, a lawyer for the company said it has already appointed an interim chief compliance officer and that it would soon have a grievance officer and an employee to respond to law enforcement requests, Reuters notes. Twitter is required to fill each of the roles under new regulations introduced this year. The company also said it would be setting up an India liaison office in the next eight weeks.

Had Twitter not pledged to comply with the rules, it faced being made legally liable for users’ posts on its platform, potentially allowing its executives to face criminal charges over user-generated content. Social media platforms often take down content in response to legal challenges, but they’re generally not considered liable for it in the first place.


If Twitter does not comply with the rules, the judge said India’s government will be able to take action against the company, Reuters reports. The company was given a deadline of two weeks to make the appointments. Other tech companies, including Facebook and Google, have reportedly already started appointing employees to the relevant positions in response to the regulations.

The legal action marked an escalation of the tensions between Twitter and the Indian government. In May, police raided Twitter’s India offices after the platform labeled a government official’s tweets as “manipulated media,” and more recently, a government minister warned the company of “unintended consequences” if it does not comply with the new rules. As the world’s largest market outside of China, India is not one that Twitter can afford to be excluded from, Bloomberg notes.

While the company said it will comply with the rules, it said it reserves the right to challenge their legality and validity, Reuters says.

Twitter is not the only large tech firm to clash with the Indian government over its new regulations. In May, WhatsApp sued the government over a requirement that it trace the origins of messages sent on its platform. The firm argued that this is unconstitutional, would force it to undermine its users’ privacy, and risks breaking the end-to-end encryption offered by its service.

We have a very good understanding of the issues for your FPSO. Whilst in Shell, and also more recently, We made dozens of (mostly) Safety videos on Bonga (in its early days) and Sea Eagle (both Shell), and for Total's Usan field. Since leaving Shell, my company - HardHat Media - has worked on 5 continents, making many different types of videos but mostly specialising in Safety. We probably have more experience of producing technical videos like this than any other company; we can either produce the whole induction for you (but working in steps with you so that we agree at every phase), or you can provide us with the subject material and we can build the video for you.



We can also produce the narration in different languages (including "international English", Nigerian-accented English, or even Pigeon!)

GOVERNORS, OTHERS WHO DEFECT FROM PDP TO APC LACK CONSCIENCE -WIKE.

Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, says governors and others defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) lack conscience and cannot be trusted.
The governor said it is ludicrous and hypocritical of the APC to demonise the PDP and then still turns around to poach members of the same party.
Governor Wike, while speaking at the flag off of Woji-Aleto-Alesa-Refinery Road and bridge with spur to the East-West Road at Woji town on Tuesday, asserted that those defecting from PDP after riding on the back of the party to power, have proven that they are treacherous.
“People who could not win ordinary election. The party used technicality and went to court and got victory. Now, they say they are leaving the party. Hopeless, shameless human beings. People who have no conscience.”
Governor Wike accused the APC led government of blackmailing and coercing some PDP governors and members to join the ruling party. He reiterated that no amount of blackmailing or intimidation will make him leave the PDP.
“Bring everything you have against me, I will not join you. Rivers state will not join you. Even if it is only Rivers state in this country, we will continue to be Peoples Democratic Party.”
The governor, has however taken a swipe at the former Director General of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, Dr. Dakuku Petersidel, for lying that the Federal Government paid the Rivers State government N78Billion cash as refund for federal projects done by the State. According to him, the Federal government merely issued a promissory note which the bank is going to discount.
"I didn’t know he (Peterside) does not understand what they call promissory note. N78 billion was not backed up by cash by the Federal government. N78 billion was approved by Federal government, but not in cash. And so the bank has to come in to take it and discount it, because federal government is going to pay them back in the next four years. What Rivers state government got was N52 Billion out of N78 Billion. But, in principle, N78 Billion was approved, but was there any cash? No cash to back it up.”
Governor Wike said it was disingenuous for Peterside, whom he convincingly defeated in 2015 governorship election, to deny his administration’s glaring infrastructural achievements , such as construction of nine flyovers, schools, hospitals, roads, cassava processing factory among others.
He disclosed that under the previous administration in which Peterside served as Commissioner for Works, contractors were compelled to pay bribe and ironically starved of funds. According to him, this is why projects like the Rebesi-Trans-Amadi-Elelenwo road awarded to RCC, was abandoned by the previous government and he had to complete it.
"We signed an undertaking with them by giving them (RCC) an Irrevocable Payment Standing Order of collecting N1 billion every month from us. We paid RCC not less than N17 billion to complete that road. It was not awarded by us. It was the previous administration, they awarded the job and took away their profit and that project was left like that."
Governor Wike said it is on record that Peterside, who hails from Opobo and was a Commissioner of Works, failed to complete the Ogoni-Andoni-Opobo Unity road due to his abysmal performance.
On the contrary, he who is from Obio-Akpor council, has successfully completed the road and will inaugurate it on Saturday.
He further dared Peterside, who as the DG of NIMASA, the cabotage office was relocated from Port Harcourt to Lagos, to declare what the state benefitted during his reign in NIMASA.
Senator Theodore Orji , who performed the flag off of the Woji-Aleto-Alesa-Refinery Road commended Governor Wike for running an inclusive government and executing projects that impact positively on the people of Rivers State.
“God specially packaged you to be the governor of Rivers State. And to show them that there is God, whatever you are doing is from the inspiration of God. Don’t relent.”
Senator Orji, who was the immediate past governor of Abia State, described Governor Wike as a solid political rock in the PDP that has remained as terror to the ruling party.
The Special Adviser to the governor on Special Projects, George-Kelly D. Alabo, said the road will connect the Woji-Aleto-Alesa to the East West road and boost economic activities in the affected communities.

The tense encounter for supremacy in the Nigeria top flight was rescheduled after the visitors reportedly walked off the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in protest at the referee's decision to deny a late winner for Pillars, which would have taken them to the top of the table.

Unusually, considering the restriction on fans placed upon NPFL fixtures by the Nigeria Football Federation in order to curb the spread of coronavirus, supporters were in attendance during the contest.
