The new rules also require social media platforms to appoint what the government calls chief compliance and grievance officers to handle complaints from law enforcement agencies. Twitterโs actions appeared to irk Modiโs government, which over the years has sought to tighten its grip over social media, particularly Twitter and Facebook.
