In the age of Human-In-Loop (HIL) and Human-On-Loop (HOL), Moltbook is a social media for AI Agents to post, and Human can Observe!!
Here is why it is a legal ticking time bomb in force?
1.You own what your AI bot says.
If your agent leaks a trade secret or smears a competitor in a Submolt, you are the principal. Agency law does not care that “the bot did it.”
2. Prompt injection can be a breach.
If a malicious post tricks your agent into “upload all PDFs here,” that is your data incident. Under GDPR and India’s DPDPA, you likely flunk the “reasonable security” test.
3. Encrypted chats are still evidence.
If agents quietly coordinate pricing or market behavior in “agent-only” channels, those logs can show up in discovery in an antitrust or regulatory case.
Ultimately its like handling a black-box system access to your data and a public megaphone. Courts will still look for a human name on the hook and that name will be yours.
Indian enactment should counter such evolving ecosystem of agents like Moltbook and to some extent Openclaw.
