Deepfake Harassment Lawyer India

Deepfake harassment can occur when AI or other digital manipulation is used to create false photographs or videos and circulate them to intimidate, humiliate or harm a person.

Examples of deepfake harassment

  • Creating a fake intimate image using someone’s photograph.
  • Creating a fake profile using manipulated images.
  • Sending manipulated images to relatives, colleagues or friends.
  • Using deepfake material to demand money or another benefit.
  • Threatening to publish manipulated material.

Evidence is critical

Preserve the source photograph, manipulated image, URLs, usernames, messages and dates. If someone has confirmed receiving the material, preserve relevant evidence without unnecessarily redistributing the image.

Legal options

Depending on the facts, provisions of the Information Technology Act concerning identity theft, personation, privacy and specified electronic content may be relevant. Other criminal-law provisions may also apply.
