“DEEPFAKE TECHNOLOGY AND LAW: A CRITICAL STUDY OF ITS LEGAL, CONSTITUTIONAL, AND REGULATORY IMPLICATIONS”

applications, their misuse poses serious threats to individual rights, public trust, and democratic
institutions. Deepfake technology has been increasingly used for impersonation, non-consensual
pornography, defamation, fraud, and political misinformation. Existing legal frameworks, however,
were not designed to address such sophisticated forms of digital manipulation.
