Deepfake Intimate Images Legal Action
Deepfake intimate images can cause serious privacy and reputational harm. If an AI-generated or manipulated intimate image falsely depicts you, legal action may be considered based on how it was created, distributed or used.
Preserve evidence
Save screenshots, URLs, usernames, messages, original photographs and dates. Keep evidence securely stored and avoid unnecessary circulation of the manipulated image.
Potential legal issues
Depending on the circumstances, the matter may involve identity theft, personation, privacy violations, harassment, blackmail or unlawful electronic publication/transmission. The Information Technology Act contains provisions addressing these areas.
Report the incident
The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal provides online reporting for cybercrime and online/social-media crimes. Suspect social-media URLs and other identifiers can also be reported through its reporting facilities.
