Incident Provisional 78% confidence first seen

Tech Transparency Project reported that Meta ran hundreds of ads on Facebook and Instagram that used AI-generated child sexual abuse material, with a subset found in India. After being alerted, Meta said it removed the ads, but the report claims Meta’s detection and enforcement missed additional CSAM ads. The findings have prompted renewed scrutiny from Indian agencies and a petition seeking mandatory reporting and identification of accounts involved.
