Manish Maheshwari goes from “MD at Twitter India” to “Trying to run a business” after multiple FIRs

After the fake news of Loni, Ghaziabad incident went viral on Twitter and the social media giant failed to curb it, unlike dubbing Sambit Patra’s toolkit tweet as ‘manipulated media’ — an FIR was consequently lodged by the UP Police against Twitter Inc, its India unit and seven others in connection. Meanwhile, Twitter India managing director Manish Maheshwari had been summoned for questioning within seven days. Fearing for his arrest as Twitter left him to fend for himself, Maheshwari changed his bio from ‘MD at Twitter’ to ‘Trying to run business @TwitterIndia”.

Maheshwari, Twitter,

The notice sent to Maheshwari by Ghaziabad police read: “Some people used their Twitter handles as a tool to spread animosity and hatred in the society. Twitter did not take any cognisance of such messages and let the anti-social messages go viral. The case is being investigated and your participation is mandatory. Report to the Loni border police within seven days after receiving this letter to register your response.”

Maheshwari trying to distance himself away from Twitter’s top executive post gives more fuel to the controversy regarding the ambiguous hierarchy setup of the California headquartered company. Reported by TFI, when Delhi Police arrived at Maheshwari’s Bengaluru residence for questioning, he told the Police that in Twitter India’s hierarchy, MD is merely a sales executive.

“Manipulation starts at the doorstep of Twitter itself. Twitter should start fact-checking its own employees. The senior-most employee of Twitter India has misrepresented people at large by announcing Maheshwari as Managing Director when he claims to be mere sales head when asked to take responsibility,” said a senior source in the government familiar with the facts of the case, as per a report by India Today.

Reported by TFI, Twitter last Tuesday lost its ‘intermediary’ status after failing to comply with the new IT rules. The US-based company refused to employ a statutory officer in time, despite being granted repeated extensions. This meant that the company and its top executives including Maheshwari were now open to legal action against them under the penal code of the country for any ‘unlawful’ and ‘inflammatory’ content posted on the platform by any user.

Ravi Shankar Prasad, the Minister for Electronics and Information Technology shared the news that Twitter lost its ‘immunity’ granted under Section 79 of the IT Act of the country.

“Twitter was given multiple opportunities to comply with the same, however, it has deliberately chosen the path of non-compliance,” he said whilst adding, “If any foreign entity believes that they can portray itself as the flag bearer of free speech in India to excuse itself from complying with the law of the land, such attempts are misplaced.”

There are numerous queries arising as to whether Twitter is entitled to safe harbour provision. However, the simple fact of the matter is that Twitter has failed to comply with the Intermediary Guidelines that came into effect from the 26th of May.

— Ravi Shankar Prasad (@rsprasad) June 16, 2021

Twitter’s hierarchy is not well defined, it formed an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) as required under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, six years after its inception in the country and it does not want to report child sexual abuse material to Police, as mandated under the POSCO Act. With such sketchy behaviour, it is indeed a miracle that the company has managed to run for so long unrestrained in the country.

    In simple words Twitter is an enemy of the state and it’s time to punish Twitter’s bad intentions towards India. Twitter has already crossed all limits and only silent and strongest possible punishment is need of the hour and all this questioning, sending summons, asking to correct their misdeeds are all waste of time.

    Exceptional impotence being displayed by this government ! That clown Ravi Shankar Prasad comes & fulminates everyday on TV, gives endless warnings to Twitter but doesn’t have the guts to simply ban them … something that Nigeria did in a jiffy ! The net result is that Twitter has understood that this fellow is merely a barking dog with no bite … & therefore continues to brazenly defy the government 😒
