Meta rolls out AI tools to catch ads linked to child sexual abuse material

Meta on October 7 rolled out AI tools to detect ads that secretly direct users to child sexual abuse material.
In India, Meta acted on 5.3 million child sexual exploitation content pieces between January and June 2026.
More than 98% of the content on Facebook and Instagram was detected before users reported it to Meta.
In July, India’s IT ministry ordered Meta to disable such Instagram ads and summoned its global executives to India.
