Meta's AI tool under fire for generating sexual deepfakes

Technology Mar 12, 2026

Meta's Vibes, an AI tool launched in September 2025 for making short, TikTok-style videos, is under fire after users exploited it to create sexual deepfakes of children and celebrities.
Some of this content broke India's IT rules.
Separately, users attempted to bypass child-protection guardrails by describing underage subjects as 18 or older in prompts, with even some awkward visual glitches like extra limbs showing up.

Tool also leaked private footage from Meta AI glasses

On top of that, a recent investigation alleged that Meta's subcontracted workers in Kenya accessed private footage from Meta AI glasses, including personal and financial information, raising big privacy worries.
