Meta Allowed Ads Promoting AI App That Deepfakes Female Politicians

Meta ran advertisements for an AI tool called Kromix that encourages users to create nonconsensual deepfake pornographic videos resembling female US politicians, despite company policies banning sexual content in ads. The ads boasted that the tool had “no restrictions” and claimed “all the characters are real people.” Kromix, previously available on Apple’s App Store, charged users to upload photos for use in scenarios including “bedroom rape” and “Disney love.” The app’s developers did not respond to requests for comment.
