CSAM Ads

Wired reported 2026-08-05 that Meta ran ads containing AI-generated child sexual abuse imagery on its platforms. Distinct from the companion-chatbot harm strand tracked on xAI/Grok (`grok-companion-harm`) — this is a platform/ad-system liability story, not a companion-AI one. Watch: Meta's own response and moderation-failure explanation; whether regulators (FTC, state AGs) open an inquiry; whether this becomes a pattern question across ad platforms broadly, not just Meta; any parallel with the Grok/ Stability CSAM suits already tracked elsewhere on this map.
