  "account": "Facebook is hosting numerous accounts that generate AI videos depicting coaches inappropriately touching young female athletes. The coaches are portrayed as older men, and the athletes as young women or girls, often in compromising positions such as on the coaches' laps or with their hands on their genital areas. Despite these disturbing videos being reported multiple times, Facebook has refused to remove the content. Kim Shore, a gymnast and safe sport advocate, believes these videos sexualize and normalize abusive interactions within a sporting environment. Meta claims their Community Standards do not apply to the AI-generated content, even though it clearly violates their guidelines for adult nudity, sexual exploitation, and child sexual exploitation.",
