India Slashes Deepfake Takedown Time to 3 Hours
Event Summary
India's IT Ministry has amended rules requiring social media platforms to remove court-ordered illegal AI content within three hours and label synthetic material, effective February 20, 2026. This targets the rapid spread of deepfakes and non-consensual media.
Policy Analysts
"Acknowledges a calibrated regulatory approach but warns that compressed timelines increase compliance burdens."
Civil Rights Advocates
"Criticizes the rules for accelerating censorship and undermining free speech through short takedown windows."
