Indian Courts Order Meta to Remove AI-Generated Deepfake Videos and Fake Accounts
Two Indian courts have directed Meta Platforms to address issues involving AI-generated deepfake videos. The Chandigarh District Court issued a notice to Meta following Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira's suit seeking removal of a morphed video depicting him. Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court ordered Meta to remove fake social media accounts and a deepfake video falsely linking Delta Corp to online gaming. Both cases highlight concerns over digital impersonation, content accountability, and protection of reputation on social media platforms.
