Platform Liability

Platform liability refers to the legal responsibility that technology companies bear for content, services, or AI systems hosted or operated on their platforms. In the context of AI governance, this concept is critical because organizations must understand whether they can be held accountable for harmful outputs generated by AI systems they deploy, and how regulatory frameworks like the EU AI Act and Section 230 in the US shape those obligations. Clear liability frameworks help enterprises establish appropriate safeguards, insurance coverage, and risk management protocols for their AI implementations.

Meta's 332 CSAM Ads Expose AI Moderation as an Unreliable Child Safety Control

The Tech Transparency Project found that 332 ads containing AI-generated child sexual abuse material ran on Facebook and Instagram, many featuring real children including a European royal and a teenage influencer. Meta delayed removals for days, applied its own policies inconsistently, and reportedly continued profiting from Chinese ad resellers who ran the violating content. The findings arrive after Meta's $18 billion child safety settlement, raising serious questions about whether post-settlement controls were operationalized.
