Meta’s Oversight Board Investigates Handling of AI-Generated Explicit Images

The board reviews cases in the U.S. and India, highlighting inconsistencies in content moderation.

Meta’s Oversight Board is probing two cases involving AI-generated explicit images of public figures on Instagram and Facebook, focusing on the platforms' response in the U.S. and India.
In both incidents, the images were initially not removed by Meta’s automated systems, leading to further scrutiny and eventual takedown after appeals to the Oversight Board.
The board aims to assess the effectiveness of Meta’s policies and enforcement practices globally, with a focus on protecting women from non-consensual deepfake pornography.
Public comments are sought by the board until April 30 to gather insights on the impact of deepfake pornography and the efficiency of Meta’s detection systems.
Experts criticize the platforms for placing the burden of reporting and proving non-consensual imagery on users, highlighting the need for more proactive measures in content moderation.
