Just days after the government issued it a notice, Meta on Tuesday outlined its efforts to combat child sexual abuse material (CSAM) across its apps, highlighting AI-powered detection and large-scale enforcement actions, as the social media giant promised to continue investing in technology and resources to keep young people safe and strengthen its ad review processes.

In a blog published Tuesday, the company termed child exploitation a “horrific crime” and asserted that it works aggressively every day to fight this kind of abuse on and off its platforms.
“This work is ongoing. Our teams are constantly improving our defences — developing new technology, blocking violating links, and sharing intelligence across the industry — but we know there is more to do. We will continue investing in every resource needed to keep young people safe, strengthen our ad review processes, and work with law enforcement to hold criminals accountable,” Meta said.
Categorically Inaccurate’: Tech Giant Rejects Claims of Targeted Exploitation Ads
Meta detailed the company’s ongoing efforts to combat child exploitation across its apps, highlighting AI-powered detection and large-scale enforcement actions.
“We’re aware of recent news reports about Instagram ads in India that violated our policies against child exploitation. And we want to be clear: we take these concerns seriously, we never want this content on our platforms, and we’re committed to improving our efforts to combat it,” it noted.
Meta said it was categorically inaccurate to suggest that it deliberately targets ads featuring children to people based on an inappropriate interest.
“Quite the opposite; we use technology to identify accounts that have shown potentially suspicious activity related to children, and we automatically removed over four million of these accounts last year,” Meta said.
