India Holds Technical Talks with Meta on Deepfakes, Algorithms, and Legal Compliance
The Indian government has held multiple rounds of technical discussions with Meta, focusing on the company's handling of deepfakes, child sexual abuse material, and unlabelled AI-generated content. Officials have asked Meta to revamp its algorithms, strengthen content moderation, expedite takedown requests, and comply with data localisation rules. A key issue is whether Meta's recommendation systems, which decide what content users see, align with its legal status as an intermediary under Indian law. Meta has acknowledged gaps and outlined potential technical measures, with further meetings planned.
