Meta has rolled out new AI tools designed to detect advertisements that covertly direct users to child sexual abuse material. The company says the systems flag ads whose links or landing pages hide illicit content, aiming to catch offenders using paid ads as a distribution route. The move is drawing attention from online safety advocates and technology observers discussing how platforms police hidden abuse networks.
Why now: Meta's new AI moderation tools address growing public concern over child safety on major platforms.
