Govt-Meta talks enter technical phase; Centre seeks action on deepfakes, CSAM

After two days of intense questioning, the Centre on Friday shifted its discussions with Meta to technical issues, with the company outlining measures to tackle deepfakes, child sexual abuse material (CSAM), bot accounts and unlabelled AI-generated content on its platforms, sources said.

Sources said that the government has asked Meta to implement specific measures and report back on the outcomes, adding that officials will regularly monitor the company’s progress. Another round of discussions is expected next week.
