The Delhi High Court has issued a John Doe order for the removal of deepfake content misusing the personality rights of YouTuber Bhuvan Bam. Justice Jyoti Singh ruled in favor of Bam, who filed a suit against various entities, including unidentified defendants and major platforms like Google, Flipkart, and Meta. Despite a previous order in January protecting his rights, unauthorized deepfake videos and infringing merchandise listings continued to appear online. The court found that Bam established a prima facie case for relief, emphasizing the potential for irreparable harm to both him and the public. The order mandates the removal of specific YouTube URLs and other infringing content across platforms. The court also noted objections from defendants regarding parody and fair use, which will be addressed in future hearings.
