AI app ads promoting 'objectification of women' banned by watchdog
BBC News 4 weeks ago 5
The UK Advertising Standards Authority banned five Meta social media ads promoting AI companion and image/video generation apps for sexually explicit content and the objectification of women. One of the ads used sexualised imagery of a girl under 18 to promote an AI companion app. As a result, Meta removed the ads and the ASA said future ads will be assessed against both UK law and its rules, with illegal cases potentially reported to platforms and law enforcement.
