Minister’s Warning, Amitabh Bachchan’s Demand For Action
Let us tell you that the video has been made with the help of ‘Artificial Intelligence’, i.e. AI technology. Responding to this, Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar said there is a need to deal with platforms like AI. Social media platforms have to follow the rules as a legal obligation. All platforms should ensure that no user posts any false information. Rule 7 of the Act will be invoked if social media platforms fail to comply with the rules. The said platform can be taken to court by the victim under the provisions of the IPC. Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan has tweeted on X account and demanded legal action against those who edited and leaked the video.
