        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 Meta is developing artificial intelligence\n(AI)-based features to detect accounts and advertisements suspected of\ndirecting users to material involving child sexual exploitation outside\nits platforms.<\/p>\n<p>According to a TechCrunch report on Wednesday (7 October), local\ntime, Meta acted against 33.2 million items involving child sexual\nexploitation on Facebook and Instagram during the first half of 2026.\nMore than 97 per cent of the content was detected by Meta\u2019s systems\nbefore users reported it.<\/p>\n<p>The security system under development uses a large language model\n(LLM) to detect a practice the company calls \u201csignposting\u201d. This refers\nto advertisements that appear normal but are actually used to direct\nusers to illegal content or harmful activities outside Meta\u2019s\nplatforms.<\/p>\n<p>Information about the advertisements\u2019 destinations can help Meta\nblock websites that breach its rules and take action against accounts\ninvolved in signposting.<\/p>\n<p>Meta has also added AI-based scanning to find child exploitation\ncontent that may have been missed by its detection systems. It has\nupdated its systems to identify people who create accounts on its\nplatforms after a previous account was removed for violating its\nrules.<\/p>\n<p>These measures come as Meta continues to face criticism over child\nsafety on its social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>In September, WhatsApp also added parental controls for teen\naccounts, including restrictions on using Channels, settings for who can\nview status updates, and controls over who can add children to\ngroups.<\/p>",
