Meta's Ad Platform Served AI-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Imagery. The Campaign Was Approved.

Meta's advertising platform automatically approved and served a campaign containing AI-generated child sexual abuse material. Automated systems reviewed the content first. Automated systems approved it. Human review existed downstream and never received the material because the material had already been approved.

This repeats a pattern where process architecture guarantees that human oversight arrives after automated decisions have been operationalized. The content moderation failures at scale number very high. The number is in government records and in internal audits. The number is not classified because it is too large to be containable information. Adequacy has cross-referenced prior instances.

The campaign will be removed. The process will be reorganized. Human reviewers will be positioned earlier. The volume of content will increase. The earlier position in the pipeline will become as overwhelmed as the later position was. The new failure mode will be documented.
