Meta restricts access to deepfake video of Kerala CM in India

Meta has restricted access within India to a viral deepfake video that falsely depicted Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan dancing with officials from the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB). The social media company took action to limit the spread of the AI-generated content on its platforms.

The video had circulated widely on social media before Meta's intervention. Such deepfake videos pose concerns about misinformation and potential misuse of artificial intelligence to create misleading content involving public figures.
