He also said that Chhath Puja has become a 'national festival' and it is a matter of great joy.
A few weeks ago the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) issued an advisory to social media platforms including Facebook Instagram and YouTube to remove deepfake content within 24 hours. The government has clearly said that if this is not done, criminal and judicial action will be taken under Indian laws.
This technology is used to swap faces in videos and other digital content to create fake media. Moreover, deepfakes are not limited to videos only, this technology can also be used to create other fake content like images, audio, etc.
