NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Twitter Inc's India unit has appointed an interim chief compliance officer and will soon designate two other executives to comply with the country's new IT rules, the social media giant said in a court filing on Thursday.

The IT rules, which became effective end-May, are aimed at regulating content on social media and making firms act more swiftly on legal requests for removal of posts and sharing details on the originators of messages.
