Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar strongly reacts to a "deepfake" video targeting actress Rashmika Mandanna on social media. He emphasizes that platforms are obligated to remove content violating India's IT rules.
Chandrasekhar highlights that under the IT rules, misinformation must be removed within 36 hours upon reporting. Failure to comply may lead to legal action under rule 7, with platforms taken to court by aggrieved parties.
The "deepfake" video involves digitally altering Rashmika Mandanna's face to mislead viewers. It falsely portrays her entering an elevator, while the original clip features social media influencer Zara Patel.
