Meta ran ads for an app promising to nudify female politicians
One ad featured a pornographic video with deepfake closely resembling a US politician.
Meta, the tech giant, recently showcased advertisements for an application known as Kromix, which purportedly offers an AI tool capable of generating pornographic deepfakes of female politicians. This comes in the wake of Meta's repeated struggles to prevent ads promoting tools that create non-consensual intimate imagery from appearing on its platforms.
Kromix advertises itself as an "AI image styler," with a promotional voice-over on its video ads claiming it has "no restrictions" and that "all the characters are real people." One ad features a woman whose resemblance to a prominent female US politician is striking, standing before a US flag and the flag of the president above the caption "What if she moved?"
The ad then transitions to a pornographic scene of a woman with the same face. Kromix, previously hosted on Apple's App Store, offers paid users the ability to upload photos to create scenarios such as "bedroom rape" and "Disney love." The app also features AI-generated pornographic videos of women in Spider-Man costumes. Attempts to reach out to the app's listed contact for comment have gone unaddressed.
