India Proposes Stricter Deepfake Regulations

India is thinking about new rules for deepfakes, which are fake videos or pictures that look real.

Right now, companies like social media platforms aren't responsible for what people post, as long as they remove bad content when asked.

But the new rules would make these companies check and change posts before they're even shared.

This is a big change because it makes these companies more like publishers, who are responsible for their content.

Some people think this could be a good way to stop harmful deepfakes, but others worry it might be too much work for the companies.
