‘Extraordinary matter, concerns PM’: Delhi High Court tells Meta to remove morphed posts in 24 hours
The Delhi High Court issued an extraordinary order on Friday, demanding Meta promptly remove obscene morphed images depicting a woman alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi within 24 hours. Justice Girish Kathpalia emphasized the gravity of the case, stating it is not just about the victim but the prime minister of the country. The court directed police protection for the woman, who accused CJP leaders, including Saurav Das and Abhijit Dipke, of circulating alleged deepfake pictures threatening her life.
The court noted the woman's plea for a "coordinated cyber-assault and public character assassination using deepfake technology." Despite filing an FIR, police have not acted on the objectionable content, leading to the court's intervention. The court directed the woman to disclose her residential address to the investigating officer, who will ensure her complete police protection.
