The company is using AI to detect ‘signposting,’ a tactic where ads are used to direct users to illegal content.

Additionally, Meta is utilizing AI agents to conduct security testing by searching for vulnerabilities in moderation mechanisms and identifying users attempting to bypass bans by creating new profiles.
