Delhi High Court Orders Takedown of Fake AI-Generated Obscene Content Targeting YouTuber

The Court has held that the circulation of fake and obscene AI-generated images of a member of the YouTube channel Slayy Point amounts to a prima facie violation of the fundamental right to privacy. It observed that the content was defamatory, derogatory, and unlawful.

The Court directed Meta, X, Google, Reddit, and other intermediaries to immediately remove the offending material and restrained any further circulation.

Google was also directed to de-index related links, while MeitY was asked to block the concerned websites.

The Court further ordered intermediaries to disclose basic subscriber details of the offenders and permitted masking of the plaintiff’s identity, citing the sensitive nature of the case.
