New Delhi, August 8 (IANS) The government has asked Meta to take corrective action against deepfakes and other harmful AI-generated content on its platforms, according to sources. The Centre is also looking into whether Meta still qualifies as an intermediary under Indian law given the role its recommendation systems play in determining what content users see. Moreover, if platform chooses what content is displayed to users that is equivalent to publishing, and platforms would then be held accountable. The matter becomes important since the Act grants intermediaries certain legal protections, provided they meet certain requirements. In addition, after several rounds of talks over the past few days, the government has also requested that Meta take action against deepfakes.
