Facebook and Instagram Found Hosting 332 Ads with AI-'Undressed' Images of Children
The Tech Transparency Project has since the beginning of 2026 discovered 332 paid ads on Facebook and Instagram in which AI was used to turn ordinary photos of adults and children into sexualized content. Meta says it reviews ads before publication and prohibits the sexual exploitation of children, yet its system failed to stop these materials. Most ads led to AI image-generation apps, a significant share of which, according to TTP, were developed in China.
