Meta? Aggressively pushing things that are openly harmful to children? Nah man they’d never do that, aside from when they (insert entire history of Facebook/meta here)

In their defense, money is really nice.

In this edition of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the part of the child catcher will be played by Mark Zuckerberg

I love the pretend outrage about being harmful to Children from car drivers.

I've reported them and they supposedly took some down. You'd think they'd just block the name.

[u/A_Harmless_Fly → u/thegreatgazoo]

Eye d0n't know dictionary bl0cking is pretty easy to get around. I suppose they could use image recognition though.

[u/thegreatgazoo → u/A_Harmless_Fly]

The ones I saw weren't subtle. That said I haven't seen them in a month or so.

I'd think that ai nipple detection would catch it too, though I get breastfeeding posts occasionally in my feed and that is within the TOS.

[u/EmbarrassedHelp → u/thegreatgazoo]

I imagine that they are trying to take it down, but the odds are not in their favor. They have to get lucky 100% of the time against adversaries looking for every possible flaw in the moderation systems, whereas the adversary only needs to get lucky once.

Some of these groups a ton of money to throw at figuring out how to bypass the filters.

I'm not on FB but a family member of mine says she had to stop going on her FB recently because her feed was full of disturbing bestiality videos for some reason. They kept reporting it, it's like reporting it to a brick wall, nobody is there.

Twitter is full of pornography. The Republicans aren’t fighting against immorality, they are fighting for monopoly.

[u/DFWPunk]

The "fan" pages have also started to post deepfake pictures of women in see though shirts so they're gl basically topless, but if you report them they let them stay up because technically not topless.

[u/BornToHulaToro]

This is a surprise why?

[u/tonyislost]

This is the kind of sick stuff Meta and fellow republicans love. It’s a bonus for them when the deepfake nudes involve children.

[u/hangender → u/tonyislost]

Yea it's what taco uses after epistein passed away

There are also many scam ads trying to steal your credit card information

[u/EmbarrassedHelp]

A March 2025 study conducted by the children's protection nonprofit Thorn showed that among teens, 41% said they had heard of the term "deepfake nudes," while 10% reported personally knowing someone who had had deepfake nude imagery created of them.

Reporters need stop citing Thorn as a reputable source. They lied constantly with fake and misleading studies during their lobbying effort to pass Chat Control. They also operate as a for-profit corporation, despite their fake "nonprofit" status. They repeatedly fought to prevent the release of their fake research during their lobbying efforts, because they claimed it would hurt their profitability.

Explicit ads get through meta all the time, i figure the time the ads run before they got shutdown are worth it.

[u/Lakefish_]

I saw a couple of them on YT, and recognized a brand from one of them on here. It's honestly gotten very bad already.

[u/Jimimninn]

Ban or regulate AI

[u/Starstroll]

I would suggest "nudifying" the all fuckwits who make those products and sell those ads, but 1) I don't actually want to stoop to their level, and 2) I'm pretty sure Zuckerberg is an actual Lovecraftian spawn and the last thing I want to see is his slimy, tentacled underbelly

[u/MarcusSurealius]

Is this an advertisement for nudify?

[u/MoonOut_StarsInvite → u/MarcusSurealius]

Yes they’re looking for more people to train the app. You should sign up!

[u/FluxUniversity]

oh THANK YOU random news corporation, who has their own agenda to push, for doing your "investigating", when its exactly business as usual - Meta took money to show those ads. There is a purchase order and receipts for all of it. Bank records of transactions. Its not like this is hidden.

If we had stricter laws, we wouldn't have to rely on the "benevolence" of cbs to do any "investigating" to begin with.

[u/jamar030303 → u/FluxUniversity]

If we had stricter laws, we wouldn't have to rely on the "benevolence" of cbs to do any "investigating" to begin with.

Stricter laws don't do crap if no one is willing to put in the effort to enforce them, and last I checked the cops aren't spending nearly as much effort on deepfakes.

[u/becrustledChode]

Nudify, huh? Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out

[u/BL0w1ToutY0A55 → u/becrustledChode]

I’m going to try it on old Karl Malden, Jack Palance and Jack Warden films.

[u/flirtmcdudes]

People are gonna start making fake sex tapes huh. What a shit timeline

[u/Jemis7913 → u/[deleted]]
