‘Safe harbour immunity won’t apply if …’: Govt

The Indian government is planning to hold a meeting with social media platforms to discuss the issue of deepfake content. IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw stated that the safe harbour immunity clause would not apply if platforms fail to take sufficient action to remove deepfakes. The government has already issued a notice to companies on this matter, but believes that more steps need to be taken. Big platforms like Meta (formerly Facebook) and Google will be called for the meeting.
