Meta ran more than 300 advertisements containing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in the past year, with several ads displaying morphed images of real children and linking to Chinese “nudification” apps that transform adult photos into child-like depictions. The campaign targeted users across Meta’s platforms, prompting criticism over the company’s ad-review processes and raising calls for stricter enforcement and transparency.
