The Delhi High Court granted interim protection to Shashi Tharoor (Congress MP) regarding alleged AI-generated deepfake videos that misrepresented him. Justice Mini Pushkarna observed that Tharoor has enforceable personality and publicity rights over his persona. The court restrained unknown individuals from creating or circulating synthetic media using his identity and ordered X Corp to remove specific deepfake content. Additionally, Meta was instructed to maintain the inaccessibility of certain Instagram URLs and disclose the identities of content creators within three weeks. Tharoor's legal counsel argued that these fabricated videos could harm his credibility, depicting him making politically sensitive remarks. The court recognized the importance of protecting Tharoor's reputation and goodwill, which he has built over decades. The case is set for further hearings, with a summons issued for the defendants to respond within 30 days.
