Delhi High Court Grants Interim Protection to Tabu Against AI-Based Identity MisusePreviousNext

The Delhi High Court granted Bollywood actor Tabu an ex-parte interim injunction protecting her from unauthorised use of her name, image, voice, and other personality attributes, including AI-generated deepfakes and manipulated content. The court directed platforms like Google, Meta, X, and Reddit to remove over 150 URLs containing objectionable material and ordered disclosure of subscriber information linked to these accounts. The ruling aims to prevent irreparable harm to Tabu's reputation and commercial interests caused by misuse of her identity online.
