Will hold meet with platforms to tackle deepfakes: Vaishnaw

"The notice we had given to all the platforms, all the platforms had responded. They are taking their own steps, but we think that many more steps will have to be taken," Vaishnaw said. "We are very soon going to have a meeting of all the platforms. Maybe in the next 3-4 days... we will make sure that platforms make adequate efforts for preventing, avoiding and cleaning up their platforms."

But recent proposals put forward by the Uttar Pradesh State Women's Commission are so silly I feel they deserve greater attention. I fear silence could suggest they're acceptable.
