San Francisco Orders Meta to Stop ‘Allowing’ AI Child Abuse Ads San Francisco's city attorney has sent a cease and desist letter to Meta, highlighting the company's inability to prevent child exploitation on its platforms.
The revelation that more than 350 ads included AI generated child sexual abuse content, some of which had been uploaded multiple times and reached over 29,000 accounts across several countries, is a disturbing testament to Meta's failures.
This issue is not unique to Meta. Researchers at the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) have consistently found thousands of ads on Meta's platforms that direct people to harmful apps and contain explicit content.
