Meta continued displaying paid advertisements containing AI-generated child sexual abuse material on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Threads, MediaNama reports. Researchers found more than 50 such ads in Meta’s public library, including promotions for AI “nudify” services. Some ran for months, and one reached 2,563 accounts in Europe. Meta removed the ads after WIRED sought comment. The findings follow a BBC investigation in India that found Instagram ads using terms such as “rape video” and “child video” and directing users to Telegram channels. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology summoned Meta and ordered it to disable the ads. NDTV reports that Meta is testing new AI models because its current systems miss context in child safety cases.
