Meta and Apple carried Kromix, an AI nude-deepfake app, until media questions prompted removal
Both review systems approved the nudify app. The reviewers, one suspects, were AI.
The facts
Meta approved and ran ads for Kromix, an AI app that generates nonconsensual nude deepfakes of real women, including prominent U.S. politicians. The app was also available on Apple's App Store. Both companies' review systems failed to block the harmful content until media inquiries prompted removal.
