Minister Gadkari allowed to sue tech firms over deepfake video
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has been granted permission by the Bombay High Court to sue Meta, X (formerly Twitter), and Google over a deepfake video. The video allegedly spread misinformation regarding the E20 ethanol blending program. Gadkari's legal team stated in court that the minister has no connection to the E20 or ethanol blending program, clarifying his stance after a previous public statement. The court's decision allows Gadkari to proceed with legal action against the tech platforms for the defamatory content.
