Delhi High Court Orders Removal of AI Deepfakes Targeting Kangana Ranaut
The Delhi High Court granted interim protection to actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut's personality rights, ordering Meta to remove AI-generated deepfakes, manipulated videos, and fabricated speeches within 72 hours. The court also directed government agencies to block access to infringing websites. The order, issued on October 8, follows Ranaut's suit alleging unauthorized use and commercial exploitation of her image and voice, including sexual and explicit content. The directions remain until the next hearing.
