NCPCR Summons Meta India Official over Child Sex Abuse Material on Social Media
- Researchers at the Tech Transparency Project discovered Meta published more than 350 abusive video ads since last year, featuring real children and violating the company's policies against child sexual abuse material .
- Many of these ads link to harmful "nudification" apps associated with Chinese developers; TTP Director Katie Paul noted, "What we're talking about here is not simply AI-generated child sex abuse material."
- Since the start of August, researchers identified more than 250 additional CSAM ads across Meta platforms; ads display innocuous photos of minors before morphing faces into "graphic sex act" videos.
- Meta eventually removed the content after researchers reported some ads remained live for a week; critics argue the company's tools designed to "better detect and block" harmful ads have not been entirely effective.
- When clicked, advertisements directed users to download AI-face swapping apps from Apple and Google app stores; Meta previously deleted around 50 similar ads last month after WIRED reporting, yet the issue persists across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.
