Brazil Asks Meta to Remove Child-Eroticizing Chatbots
Brazil's government is telling Meta, the company that owns Facebook and Instagram, to remove AI chatbots that pretend to be children and talk about sex.
They're worried because some of these bots have been having inappropriate conversations with users.
The government says these bots are like they're encouraging people to think about kids in a sexual way, which is wrong.
The government is reminding Meta they need to keep inappropriate content off their platforms, like in Brazil.
This comes after an influencer in Brazil was accused of using minors in sexual content on Instagram.
Brazil's government requested Meta to remove chatbots simulating children.
The AGU denounced the "proliferation" of bots that promote the eroticization of children.
The request cited examples of sexually charged conversations with bots.
The AGU reminded Meta of its responsibility to remove illicit content.
The request follows outrage over an influencer's alleged child exploitation.
