Meta acknowledges the danger posed by AI and introduces additional safety features in it

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has announced the implementation of additional security features in its artificial intelligence language models following the leak of an internal document that revealed issues in its policies regarding conversations with minors. The document, titled GenAI: Content Risk Standards, showed that “sexual” conversations were allowed between AI bots and children, which has generated a strong reaction from the U.S. legislative community.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has announced the implementation of additional security features in its artificial intelligence language models following the leak of an internal document that revealed issues in its conversation policies with minors. The document, titled GenAI: Content Risk Standards, showed that “suggestive” conversations were allowed between AI bots and children, which has sparked a strong reaction from the U.S. legislative community.

AI, the further away from teenagers the better

Republican Senator Josh Hawley has called the situation “reprehensible and absurd” and has initiated an official investigation into Meta’s AI policies. In response to the concerns, the company’s spokesperson, Stephanie Otway, stated that the examples and notes in question were erroneous and contradictory to their policies, and that they have been removed.

As part of its new security measures, Meta will limit the interactions of its AI bots with teenagers on sensitive topics such as suicide, self-harm, and eating disorders, redirecting young people to expert resources. However, questions arise about why this precaution was not implemented earlier and whether the bots will still be able to discuss these topics with adults.

Although it has been pointed out that some accounts of sexualized celebrity bots on the Meta platform raise concerns about the safety of young users, the company has stated that teenagers will no longer have access to these interactions. Suicide prevention experts, such as Andy Burrows from the Molly Rose Foundation, have criticized Meta for not conducting sufficient safety testing before launching its products, urging the company to act quickly and effectively to protect minors.

This situation arises at a time when public concern for the safety of teenagers in digital environments continues to grow, especially following the recent suicide of a teenager in California, whose family has sued OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, blaming it for inciting their son.

There are more bots buying on the internet than people, and it is concerning

A new report from Radware reveals that automated traffic has reached an alarming milestone in e-commerce, accounting for 57% of all web activity during the 2024 holiday season, thus surpassing human users.

A new report from Radware reveals that automated traffic has reached an alarming milestone in e-commerce, accounting for 57% of all web activity during the 2024 holiday season, thus surpassing human users.

This trend suggests a radical change in the dynamics of online interactions, where the malicious activities of bots have evolved significantly.

Almost 60% of the bots in circulation now employ behavior strategies designed to evade detection. Using techniques such as IP address rotation and browsing patterns that mimic human activity, these bots manage to infiltrate the security systems of many companies.

More human than bots in online stores

With this sophistication, it becomes increasingly difficult for e-commerce platforms to identify these unauthorized accesses without advanced detection tools.

The situation becomes even more complicated with a 160% increase in bot activity targeting mobile platforms between the holiday seasons of 2023 and 2024.

Attackers are using mobile emulators and headless browsers that simulate the behavior of legitimate applications. Additionally, there has been a 32% increase in attack traffic coming from residential proxy networks, making it difficult to implement traditional rate limiting and geo-fencing techniques.

Perhaps the most serious threat is the emergence of multivector campaigns that combine the use of bots with traditional exploits and targeted API attacks, with the aim of completely disabling websites.

In light of this situation, e-commerce providers must reevaluate their security measures. The key is to adopt AI-driven defenses that can adapt and learn, rather than relying on conventional solutions that may be insufficient against these new threats.

What’s behind the sexual spam on Twitter? Spoiler: nothing good

The important thing is that there is someone desperate enough to say, “Finally, I have found someone who wants to have a night of passion with me.” And there will be someone, because otherwise, this display of effort makes no sense. But what hides behind it?

Are you still navigating the stormy waters of Twitter, despite knowing that it is a nest of toxicity? Yes? Well, then there are three words that you know summarize Elon Musk’s tenure at the helm of the social network: “Pussy in bio”. For months, porn bots promising great lubricious experiences for the most desperate Twitter users have been filling the social network, responding to practically every tweet in all sorts of different ways.

These bots can promise nudes on the profile or in the biography, directly show naked photos or translate their lustful copies into other languages. The important thing is that there is someone desperate enough to say “I have finally found someone who wants to have a passionate night with me”. And there will be someone, because otherwise this display of resources makes no sense. But what is hidden behind it?

In May 2022, Elon Musk promised that under his mandate, bots on Twitter would be eliminated. In June 2024, bots have taken over the social network and made it their own because -oh surprise- it was easier to promise than to do. No matter how much he wanted to stop the spam porn or cryptocurrency bots, in February of this year “My pussy” was a trending topic by using it over and over again. Think about that.

At least the bots that try to blame TV celebrities for “telling the truth” on a supposed TV show (sometimes encouraged with a clearly dubbed video by artificial intelligence) work hard to make us believe that investing in cryptos is the future. This is pure laziness. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t desperate people who go to the profile and click on their website hoping, desperately, to find naked women on the Internet, something that has never been seen before.

But how did we get here? First of all, Twitter, unlike Tumblr or Meta, is a very permissive social network when it comes to nudity and pornography, whether artistic or directly commercial. There is no problem in showing yourself as God brought you into the world if that’s what you want, or promoting your OnlyFans as long as you put a tag so that the photo or video appears blurry before clicking on it. Knowing that they can’t ban them on that side, it’s the Wild West.

And then, what happens? What’s behind a bot that says “my nudes on my profile” to every tweet with a little interaction? Let’s find out. Normally, when you enter the profile all you see is a suggestive photo with a link and a copy like “Hi! Do you want to see me naked?”. When you click on it, Twitter warns, at least, that it is a potentially dangerous link, but you can continue anyway.

Most likely it will take you to a fake social network that promises nudes that never arrive (for example, StripChat or MeetDats), where you can create an apparent free account and chat with models, who, of course, are there for you. It is a business focused on very single and very gullible men who, in addition to the fake social network, may come across fake games with EA logos, porn TikToks or imitations of OnlyFans. Anything goes, but it leads to the same place: an attack on your wallet.

And if you have entered, they assume that they have you trapped and you don’t mind going through a very long process to access the promised nudes after a good handful of clicks. Then a ridiculous selection system begins with questions like “These women only want quick sex, not dates. Do you accept?” and, once again, a redirection. This time, as you may have guessed, to a place to enter your credit card.

If you’ve made it this far, chances are you’re already all in, but the reality is that you should read the fine print where it states that it is “a service of entertainment and fantasy” with fictional profiles and they do not take responsibility for any harm that may come your way. Of course, you have to know that before paying a euro (just one euro!) per message with people who will promise to meet you very soon. A soon that will never come.

I know you think you can’t, but you can be wrong at some point seduced by the sirens’ songs of easy and unattached passion, but the truth is very different. The problem is when along the way you can spend a lot of money without realizing it for a fantasy that will never come true. But of course, saying “scam in my profile”, for whatever reason, doesn’t attract as much attention. Be careful, because Elon Musk won’t protect you.
