Amit Acharya has claimed in his petition that Twitter has not followed the rules. On the other hand, Twitter claimed before the court that it followed the rules and appointed a grievance redressal officer, but the central government denied the claim. The court said, "If these (rules) are not banned, they will have to abide by it."

 

Acharya, in the petition filed through advocates Akash Bajpai and Manish Kumar, said that when he tried to file a complaint regarding some tweets, he came to know about the alleged non-compliance of government rules.

Before WhatsApp, Facebook and Google said the new guideline has been implemented without any protest.
