👉 Short Answer: Yes! A company can be held liable for a tweet if it violates laws like defamation, hate speech, or other illegal content under Indian law, especially if it’s part of company policy or endorsed by the employer. 🚨
“But it was just a tweet!” Yes, but in the eyes of the law, a tweet can have the same impact as a printed publication or public speech.
So, when your employee hits “Send,” it’s not just their name on the line — the company can also be in trouble! 😬
