New Delhi, July 11 (IANS) India&#39;s Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has reviewed the implementation of the new IT rules and said that these norms will ensure safer and responsible social media ecosystem in India.</p>
<p>
Taking to the India-made micro-blogging platform Koo, he said that he reviewed the implementation and compliance of the new guidelines along with the Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar.</p>
<p>
&quot;Reviewed the implementation and compliance of Information Technology Rules, 2021, along with my colleague Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar Ji. These guidelines are empowering and protecting users and will ensure a safer and responsible social media ecosystem in India,&quot; he said.</p>
<p>
Just after assuming charge of the ministry, Vaishnaw on Thursday said that everyone has to follow the law of the country.</p>
<p>
The minister has taken charge of the ministry at a time when the government and the US-headquartered micro-blogging platform Twitter seemed to be at loggerheads over the new norms, with the previous IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad publicly blaming Twitter of flouting norms.</p>
<p>
The Delhi High Court on Thursday said that there is no interim protection for Twitter and the Centre is free to take any action if the micro-blogging site breaches the new IT rules. Twitter has lost the intermediary status in the country.</p>
<p>
However, paying heed to the government&#39;s demand, Twitter has finally appointed Vinay Prakash as its Resident Grievance officer (RGO) for the country.</p>
