India’s IT minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw, announced a forthcoming meeting with social media giants Google, Twitter, and Meta to address the deepfake issue. He emphasized that companies risk losing safe harbor immunity if they don’t take sufficient measures to combat and remove deepfakes. The government’s response follows the viral spread of a deepfake featuring actor Rashmika Mandanna, prompting concerns and calls for legal action. Vaishnaw stated that while platforms have taken some steps, more efforts are needed. The meeting aims to brainstorm solutions and ensure platforms make adequate endeavors to prevent and eliminate deepfakes from their systems.
