India is the third largest market in terms of users for Twitter with 18.8 million users in India, after the US and Japan, as of April, according to data platform Statista. The US with 73.2 million subscribers, requested the second highest volume comprising 22% of global information requests the microblogging platform received.
Saying that requests from governments for information about users along with takedown requests has touched an all-time high, Twitter said that in terms of volume of legal demands also India ranked at the second spot after Japan. Close to 94% of the total global volume of legal demands originated from only five countries (in decreasing order): Japan, India, Russia, Turkey, and South Korea, it said.
Twitter has been embroiled in a battle with the government of India over multiple issues which include request for taking down tweets, removing tagged tweets and also over its delay in complying with India’s new intermediary guidelines that mandate several new Rules for social media companies including setting up a physical office in India and appointing key officials who are residents of India.
Vijaya Gadde<\/a>, Twitter’s chief legal and policy officer said that in case of removal requests, the firm removed some or all of the content in only about 31% of the cases.
“We challenge these requests when we see things that are newsworthy, content related to political speech under recognized international human rights principles, of course we have respect for local laws, and in many instances when we challenge a request under local law itself.”
She added that such requests were at an all time high since Twitter started publishing its transparency report in 2021. “It's very critical to make sure that (when) we're responding to the request, we're doing so in accordance with our values and (its) imperative (to) protecting the people that you service,” Gadde said.
After getting a rap from the Delhi High Court<\/a>, Twitter appointed Vijay Prakash as its chief grievance officer after it admitted last week in the Court that it had breached the timeline of May 25 to comply with the IT rules after the government stated in an affidavit to the court that Twitter lost its intermediary status for failing to adhere to the timeline.
Twitter also told the court that it expects to complete the process of having a resident nodal, grievance and compliance<\/a> officer, besides setting up a liaison office in eight weeks.
Gadde said that by publishing the data at a more granular level the company is trying to build more “accountability around content moderation” not just for ourselves which we have a lot further to do, but for the governments around the world.”
“I think that's really important and we do this understanding that a lot of people may not be happy, either with us not taking down (content) or providing too much information, or that we're not responding enough and we do this because it's really important for public accountability,” Gadde said.
During this reporting period, Twitter received 38,524 legal demands to remove content specifying 131,933 accounts. “We withheld or otherwise removed some or all of the reported content in response to 29% of these global legal demands; 11,091 total, it said in a blogpost.
“Although there was a 9% decrease in the number of legal demands Twitter received, compared to the previous reporting period, these requests sought removal of content from the largest number of accounts ever in a single reporting period,” it said. “Accounts of 199 verified journalists and news outlets from around the world were subject to 361 legal demands, a 26% increase in these requests since the previous reporting period.”
Twitter said that the submissions of Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown notices decreased by 2%, and saw a 44% decrease in accounts affected between July and December last year.
In June, Twitter had locked the account of former Union IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad<\/a> under the DMCA takedown notice following a complaint by the International Federation of Phonographic Industry (IFPI) for a video containing music of A R Rehman. IFPI told ET that it had sent the notice to Twitter as the platform had not bought the rights for the music,unlike other social media companies such as Facebook<\/a>.
Tweets withheld and media withheld also dropped by 25% and 43% respectively, as Twitter’s operations were affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a security incident in July 2020.
“Now, amid an increasingly complex global landscape, continued transparency around our own efforts to protect the public conversation is paramount,” the company said.
