Submit ReviewA massive general election is currently underway in India. It’s been described as the “largest democratic exercise in history.” And tech platforms are a big part of it.

That includes deepfakes of prominent public figures, like Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, spreading false information about who or which political parties they are endorsing.

They also discuss a recent report from Access Now and Global Witness, an environmental and human rights nonprofit, about YouTube’s advertisement moderation standards in India.
