Meta failing to curb spread of many sexualized AI deepfake celebrity images on Facebook


Meta appears unable to keep up with the spread of sexualized, deepfake images of stars including Miranda Cosgrave and Scarlett Johansson on Facebook.

Dozens of fake, highly sexualized images of the actors Miranda Cosgrove, Jeanette McCurdy, Ariana Grande, Scarlett Johansson and former tennis star Maria Sharapova have been shared widely by multiple Facebook accounts, garnering hundreds of thousands of likes and many reshares on the platform. This is an industry-wide challenge, and we're continually working to improve our detection and enforcement technology," Meta spokesperson Erin Logan told CBS News in a statement emailed on Friday. CBS News found dozens of AI-generated, sexualized images of Cosgrave and McCurdy still publicly available on Facebook even after the widespread sharing of such content, in violation of the company's terms, was flagged to Meta.
