QuestionWhat stops bad actors from using Meta's open-source AI to make deepfake pornography?

ResponseMeta describes its ban on sexually explicit/manipulated imagery, media-matching detection, and — specific to generative AI — training models to refuse child-exploitative queries, red-teaming with child-safety experts, and blocking exploitative outputs before they reach users; broader deepfake detection relies on industry watermarking/labeling standards still in progress.
