The Delhi High Court announced plans to issue an interim order to protect the personality rights of Shashi Tharoor (a Congress leader and Member of Parliament from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India) against deepfake videos circulating online. These videos falsely attribute politically sensitive statements to him, which could potentially harm his reputation and be misused by foreign entities. Justice Mini Pushkarna issued notices to defendants, including social media platforms X and Meta, after Tharoor's counsel, Senior Advocate Amit Sibal, pointed out that while some versions of the videos had been removed, they continue to reappear under different URLs. Sibal emphasized that these fabricated videos undermine Tharoor's credibility, especially in the context of India's foreign relations. The court has previously granted interim relief to other public figures facing similar issues, indicating a growing concern over the impact of deepfake technology on individuals' reputations.
