  • Meta has run more than 300 paid ads containing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) this year, a TTP investigation found.
  • Most of the ads showed a photo of a child, which is digitally altered with AI to make it appear the child is performing a sex act.
  • TTP identified multiple photos of real children, including a member of a European royal family, that were used in the ads.
  • Several of the CSAM ads were placed by Meta’s own advertising partners in China, including a Chinese state-controlled company.
  • The vast majority of the ads pointed to AI apps from China. Many of these apps were capable of “nudifying” people.
