Delhi High Court orders takedown of objectionable content featuring Tabu
Tabu is a famous movie actress in India.
She found bad and rude videos and images of herself online.
These were made without her permission.
Some were even fake videos made with computers to look like her.
Tabu asked a court for help.
The court is called the Delhi High Court.
A judge agreed to order websites to remove these bad videos and images.
The judge said, “They have to be taken down.”
Tabu says the websites make money from these fake videos.
The court will decide more details on December 7.
