Meta criticized for slow removal of AI CSAM ads on Facebook, Instagram

By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

An investigation by the Tech Transparency Project found that Meta failed to detect hundreds of ads, many of which promoted AI apps from China designed to digitally alter images of children.
