MUMBAI: Twitter Inc plans to boost hiring in India and appoint an officer to liaise with the Election Commission (EC), a senior executive said on Feb 26, responding to concerns about political misuse of social media ahead of this year's general elections.
Speaking a day after an Indian parliamentary committee told the company to engage more with the Election Commission to help ensure a free and fair vote, Twitter's global head of public policy, Colin Crowell, told Reuters the election was a top priority for the company.
