The Election Commission of India has instructed political parties to quickly remove deepfake videos and audios within three hours of notification. This comes after a BJP-led delegation urged action against deepfakes' impact on elections. Parties are also warned not to use social media for spreading fake or altered content that could mislead voters. The EC emphasized that such content can manipulate voter opinions, deepen societal divides, and erode trust in elections. Parties must also identify and warn those responsible for posting deepfakes. While the use of AI tools is allowed, the EC prohibits those that distort information or spread misinformation, highlighting the danger of unchecked falsehoods on social media.
