The Delhi High Court on August 6 granted interim relief to actor Tabu, ordering platforms including Meta, Google, X, Reddit, eBay and GoDaddy to remove AI-generated obscene content using her name and image within 36 hours. Justice Jyoti Singh also directed them to share IP logs of anonymous uploaders within three weeks. Tabu had sought removal of fake merchandise, event bookings and deepfake videos she said could damage her brand endorsements. On the same day, Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani heard actor Janhvi Kapoor's plea for personality rights over 5,000 webpages. The court limited relief to clearly obscene material but refused to block fan pages, holding that personality rights cannot override free speech. Meta argued broad takedown requests are unworkable, and the judge noted that the personality rights concept has "spiralled out of control."
