Delhi HC Orders Google to Remove Rajat Sharma Deepfake YouTube Channels

Imagine someone is using a computer to make fake videos of a famous news anchor, Rajat Sharma, saying and doing things he never did.

This is called a 'deepfake'.

The news anchor was upset because these fake videos were spreading wrong information.

So, he asked a court for help.

The court told YouTube's parent company, Google, to take down the fake videos and the channels that were sharing them.

They have to do this quickly and also give the news anchor some information about who made these fake videos.

This is to protect the news anchor's reputation and stop people from being tricked by fake videos.
