Only 157 complaints were made to Twitter, a microblogging platform, in India between August 26 and September 25, 2022. In India this year, the 30-day period had the fewest complaints, according to the Transparency Report.
The microblogging website received 1,088 complaints in the previous 30 days. Month over month, fewer complaints have been filed, by 85%. (MoM).Twitter also took action against 134 URLs at the same time, the majority of which had to do with intellectual property violations.
Twitter also handled 43 complaints with requests for account suspensions for a variety of reasons in addition to the complaints. In addition, 12 requests for generic information regarding Twitter accounts were made during the month.
78 accusations of abuse and harassment were filed, which has long been the norm. Furthermore, Twitter received 34 complaints about intellectual property violation, while 27 complaints were made about hate speech. There were 17 reports of adult content that was sensitive, and one report of impersonation.
Twitter also reported that throughout the past 30 days, it had blocked 54,123 accounts. 52,141 of these were prohibited for encouraging non-consensual nudity, child sexual exploitation, and other related content. Another 1,982 accounts were blocked by the microblogging platform for supporting terrorism.
Social media sites in India with more than 5 million users are required to produce monthly compliance reports in accordance with Rule 4(1)(d) of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021.Google and Meta both release monthly compliance reports in addition to Twitter.
While there haven’t been any modifications to the social network’s content moderation guidelines, Musk also said that Twitter will establish a “content moderation committee.”The microblogging platform and the Indian government have frequently disagreed over content management. Twitter sued the government in court in July over some requests to remove information.
Twitter has recently made news because Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, completed the $44 billion takeover of the social media platform last Friday (October 28), taking it private for $54.20 per share.Many of Twitter’s top executives were let go as a result of the acquisitions, including CEO Parag Agrawal and legal counsel Vijaya Gadde.
