Partiality at its best and yet claiming to be 'fair', even a blindfolded person can understand why and how the government is politically inspired to specifically targeted one company. If they were fair, notices and statements should have been released to all non compliant companies.

If you look into details, lots of companies have either not complied with the laws or partially complied including Twitter but statements released by ministers target none except one. Media based on 'sources' also already claimed that even Telegram is compliant with these laws while fact says otherwise. This article details the status of most big companies.


Until June 1, Facebook had not named its RGO in India on its website and the provided address was for its external legal firm—Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas—not for its own offices in India. On June 3, the company updated the website to reflect a name—Spoorthi Priya (resident of India)—but it is not clear if this officer is a Facebook employee. Similarly, it is not clear if Paresh B Lal, the RGO of WhatsApp is a resident of India and a WhatsApp employee.
Twitter’s interim RGO, Dharmendra Chatur, is a resident of India, but is not an employee of Twitter—he’s a partner at Poovayya & Co, an external law firm that has represented Twitter in multiple court cases in India. The physical address too is for Poovayya & Co’s Bengaluru branch.
Google’s grievance officer for India is a Google employee but not a resident of India. Airmeet (which did not specify its number of users), too, has an interim RGO but theirs is their head of human resources. Twitter, as per a LinkedIn job post, is looking to hire a CCO. Airmeet, too, tells Forbes India that it is looking for a CCO.
Jio, which is an SSMI under the rules as it offers JioChat and JioMeet, declined to comment on its compliance status
LinkedIn, Microsoft (owns Outlook, Office365, Microsoft Teams, Skype), Zoom and Yahoo (Yahoo Mail) also did not respond.
It is not clear how other publications reported that Telegram is compliant since Forbes India could not find details of its RGO on its app or its blog and its press bot did not reply to our numerous requests for information. Signal has not done any hiring in India.
