Twitter files petition for judicial review of Indian orders on takedown

On June 27, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology issued a notice to the Chief Compliance Officer of Twitter Inc, giving the company 'one last opportunity'

Twitter has filed a petition at the Karnataka High Court for a judicial review of the government telling the microblogging firm to take down content from its platform.

This comes even as the company has complied with the information technology ministry’s July notice on removing some content.

The details of the content could not be ascertained.

A Reuters report said Twitter argued in its request for a judicial review that some removal orders fell short of the procedural requirements of India’s IT Act, without specifying which ones Twitter wanted to be reviewed.
