# Bombay HC orders Meta to remove fake Delta Corp accounts, deepfake 2026-08-07T23:48:20+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Bombay High Court on Thursday directed Meta to immediately remove fake accounts impersonating Delta Corp and an AI-generated deepfake video that showed the company’s chairman falsely announcing an online casino. The court granted interim relief after Delta Corp argued that Meta suspended its official accounts without notice while leaving impostor pages untouched. Justice Abhay Ahuja observed that the deepfake looked real, reflecting how advanced the technology has become. Separately, the government has been questioning Meta’s compliance with Indian IT rules during three days of meetings. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has asked Meta to overhaul its algorithms, label synthetic content, and strengthen moderation of deepfakes, child sexual abuse material, and propaganda. Officials are examining whether Meta still qualifies as an intermediary entitled to safe harbour protection. Delta Corp’s case returns to court on 27 August. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in - economictimes.indiatimes.com - timesnownews.com Tags: AI, Bombay High Court, deepfake, Delta Corp, Meta, social media Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bombay-hc-directs-meta-to-remove-fake-delta-corp-accounts-deepfake/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
