Meta Platforms Served Thousands of AI 'Nudify' Ads Violating Content Policies
A report by the Tech Transparency Project revealed that Meta's Facebook and Instagram served approximately 7,600 ads from Beijing-based GatherOne promoting AI 'nudify' apps that digitally transpose women's faces onto nude bodies, violating Meta's policies against sexually suggestive content and non-consensual imagery. The apps raised concerns about privacy, consent, and child safety, with one app linked to flagged child pornography content. Meta stated it prohibits such ads and takes action against violators, while critics question the enforcement and prioritization of ad revenue over user safety.
