  So now Meta has actively produced and hosted CSAM material, when does the sites get seized?

    Come now, rich pedophiles don’t face consequences.

      Not true. If they piss off richer, more prominent pedophiles they may accidentally fall out of windows or simply hang themselves in jail.

  Everybody is blaming Meta for serving these ads, but, you see, they just didn’t know. They took them down as soon as the were informed. Really, how could they possibly have known the content of the ads they sold, hosted and served? Those ads were very much against their rules, I can assure you of that. Their automated detection system is doing it’s best, and they only proved it let through fifty odd such images. They swear it stopped a whole bunch more. What more do you want from them? What? You want them to pay someone to actually vet the ads they serve? Don’t be ridiculous, that would cut into their profits. Unacceptable. Hold them responsible for the illegal content of ads they served? Absolutely not. How dare you?!

  /s in case it wasn’t obvious.

  I’ve been flagging these on Facebook, which I only use for marketplace. Facebook NEVER does anything about it and I’ve been increasingly concerned. My reports get closed as “content does not break terms of use”.

  The things I see through Facebook ads are not necessarily ai generated. They are just disgusting images, or allusions. Like an anime image of an old man surrounded by young boys with captions about a romance dating sim.

  It’s been like this for a while. The suggested shorts frequently imply sexual content with minors and Facebook friend suggestions on blank accounts frequently include 14-16 year old girls.

    I regularly see Facebook posts with literal calls for murder, that, after lengthy "reviews", are found to be "not against the community standards". Things like "we should really kill all the towelheads, they have no place in America"...

    Meanwhile, a few weeks back I had to fight a 30 day suspension for a comment that said "[insert name here] no, Hitler was wrong, his rhetoric was hateful, and the very first targets of the Nazi party were the socialists and workers unions. Look up the Night of Long Knives.", because apparently stating historical facts, not calls to violence, IS against the community standards.

      I was going to say, what isn’t CSAM or scams, is violent and hateful propaganda or fake news.

  As the company implies, some of the offending ads got past Meta’s new AI technology. Initially, the TTP researchers found around two dozen ads displaying the abusive content. However, hours ahead of publication, the researchers discovered around 30 more. Many of these ads had been published after WIRED first asked Meta about the content, with multiple ads being live and shown to accounts at the time researchers discovered them.

  Everyone involved in the process for those ads needs to be on a sex offender registry at a minimum. The entire company needs to be shut down for a few months while they are searched thoroughly for any more signs of CSAM distribution.

  You train a piece of programming on Reddit and the entirety of the internet, then have it run by emotionally stunted sociopaths. How is any of this surprising?

  I originally thought that the title expressed "Meta created ads that contained AI-generated Child Sexual Abuse Imagery, and then ran them". However, it seems that the article actually expresses "One or more people who are probably not employees of Meta made ads that contained AI-generated Child Sexual Abuse Imagery in order to promote so-called nudify or undressing apps, and then Meta ran them".

  More than 50 image and video ads containing abusive content were recently discovered in Meta’s ad library by researchers at the Tech Transparency Project (TTP), with the listings showing that some ads linked out to so-called nudify or undressing apps. Meta’s ad library—a transparency tool that catalogues ads displayed on the company’s platforms—shows the ads running across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and/or Threads. The findings are the second time in recent weeks that paid ads linked to child sexual abuse material have been found on Meta’s platforms.

    Oh, well that’s okay then.

    False alarm guys! The billion dollar social media network didn’t make CSAM, they just reviewed, hosted, and pushed it to users uncritically! Nothing to see here!
