Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps (www.404media.co)

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or unwilling to enforce their policies about who can buy ads on their platforms.

While parent company Meta’s Ad Library, which archives ads on its platforms, who paid for them, and where and when they were posted, shows that the company has taken down several of these ads previously, many ads that explicitly invited users to create nudes and some ad buyers were up until I reached out to Meta for comment. Some of these ads were for the best known nonconsensual “undress” or “nudify” services on the internet.

There isn't, but emphasis on why it's an issue is always a good thing to do. Same reason people get upset when some articles say "had sex with a minor" or "involved in a relationship with a minor" when the accurate crime is "raped a minor."

If you (the news) are going to use flowery language, at least imply its a crime!

  • "Sexually coersed a minor"
  • or "groomed a minor for sex"
  • or "had a relationship where the power dynamics were so 1 sided that the child could not give consent"
  • or mabe just say "raped a minor"

Its not that hard!
