KOZHIKODE: K K Rema, the United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate from Vadakara, has filed a formal complaint with the Kozhikode Rural District Police Chief, alleging a coordinated campaign of fake and obscene content being circulated against her on social media.
In her complaint, Rema stated that videos currently being shared online — claiming that she was obstructed by a group at Chombala Harbour — are completely baseless and misleading. She strongly denied the authenticity of such content, asserting that these narratives are fabricated to tarnish her public image.
The MLA further alleged that several posts circulating on various platforms contain explicit undertones and double-meaning, indicating a deliberate attempt at character assassination. According to her, these posts are not random but part of a targeted effort to damage her reputation during the election period.
Rema also raised serious concerns about the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in generating manipulated visuals and videos.
She claimed that doctored content created using AI tools is being widely disseminated across multiple social media profiles, amplifying the misinformation campaign and causing significant harm to her credibility.
Calling for strict legal action, Rema urged authorities to identify and prosecute those responsible for creating and sharing such defamatory material.
She emphasised that these cyberattacks, especially during an election period, are not only personal but also undermine democratic values.
