AI Summary

Meta’s ad platform displayed promotions for Kromix, an AI “image styler” that enables users to generate deep‑faked pornographic videos of real people, including a woman who closely resembles a prominent female U.S. politician. The video ad featured the figure in front of U.S. flags with the caption “What if she moved?” before cutting to a pornographic scene, and a voice‑over claimed the tool has “no restrictions” and is “the AI that men actually use.” This runs contrary to Meta’s policies that forbid ads containing sexual material, marking another lapse in the company’s effort to block non‑consensual intimate‑image tools.
