Meta ran ads for apps that 'nudify' real teens' photos

Ars Technica reports Meta was slow to remove ads promoting apps that use AI to generate nude images of real teenage girls from their Instagram photos, with one ad reportedly marketed as "the AI men actually use."

Why it matters: This adds to a growing pattern of AI image-generation harms outpacing platform moderation — nudify apps have been repeatedly flagged by researchers and regulators, and continued ad placement suggests enforcement gaps that could draw the same regulatory scrutiny now aimed at AI chatbots and child safety.
