Meta platforms recently ran ads for Kromix, an AI porn-generation tool, despite strict policies against such content. The app, which allows users to create deepfaked videos of female US politicians, has a dark menu inviting users to scenarios including 'bedroom rape' and 'Disney love.' Apple has also struggled with similar apps on its App Store.

The ads, targeted exclusively at male users, were removed after scrutiny from WIRED. Meta's ad library reveals 32 such ads ran for up to 46 hours each, generating minimal engagement.

This incident raises questions about the effectiveness of tech companies' policies and their ability to prevent harmful content from spreading. As AI becomes more sophisticated, so too does the challenge of regulating it ethically.

The app's voice-over promises 'no restrictions,' despite containing material that violates both Meta’s and Apple’s policies. The ads depict scenarios that are both creepy and illegal, highlighting a stark gap between technological advancement and moral boundaries.
