The Bombay High Court on Thursday directed Meta Platforms Inc. to immediately remove fake social media accounts impersonating Delta Corp Ltd and an AI-generated deepfake video falsely linking the company to online gaming. Justice Abhay Ahuja passed the interim order while hearing Delta Corp’s suit challenging Meta’s decision to suspend its official Facebook and Instagram accounts. Delta Corp argued the suspension was carried out without prior notice and without any valid reason. During the hearing, Delta’s counsel opposed Meta’s request for more time to file a reply, stating that after the accounts were suspended on April 10, the company received “six different contradictory reasons” for the action. The counsel argued the case raised serious concerns about the “accountability and transparency” of a digital intermediary and noted that Meta had failed to remove fake pages despite repeated complaints. The court was shown an AI-generated video circulated through a fake account called “Deltin Vibe,” appearing to show Delta chairman Jaydev Mody announcing an online casino launch. Justice Ahuja observed that although described as a deepfake, “it appeared to be a real one,” reflecting how advanced technology had become. Meta’s counsel sought time until August 17 to file a reply but submitted the company was “duty bound” to remove unauthorised impersonation accounts. The court directed Meta to remove the fake accounts listed by Delta and the AI-generated video referred to in the company’s August 5 communication. The matter will next be heard on August
