253 Of Meta's 332 Child Abuse Ads Trace To Chinese Apps
Tech Transparency Project found the ads reached 29,000 people in the EU and 6,800 in the UK for under $5,000 total.
- 253 of the 332 ads promoted nudify apps built by developers based in China.
- One photo showed a European royal family member; another, a 14-year-old influencer.
- Meta called nudify apps intolerable but would not say if it alerted police.
Why it matters: An ad system built to screen every submission waved through the same abuse image 253 times.
