TikTok ran ads for AI apps that let users undress strangers
"An ad for an AI app called Soul Love showed a partially obscured image of a woman whose head movements mimicked a sex act, alongside text stating 'Turn Her photo into amazing AI style.'"
"In many cases, the ads were clearly sexual. That they were approved points to both moderation and policy failures."
"An ad for a service called 'Soul Love' depicted a woman whose head movements mimicked a sex act."
"An ad for Pop Go showed videos of women and ran text promoting that its app was 'specifically designed for men' and let users 'transform photos into kissable videos with ease.'"
An investigation revealed that TikTok featured more than 50 ads for apps allowing users to create nonconsensual deepfake images. These ads garnered significant views before being removed. One ad for Soul Love showcased a woman mimicking a sexual act, while another for Movely promised unrestricted content. Ads were deemed clearly sexual, indicating failures in TikTok's moderation policies. After being alerted, TikTok removed the ads and banned offending accounts, emphasizing their commitment to strict rules against sexual content.
