Meta 周三宣布，在 2026 年上半年，该公司在 Facebook 和 Instagram 上对 3320 万条涉及儿童性剥削的内容采取了行动。与此同时，Meta 正在推出全新的人工智能工具，用于识别可能被用来秘密引导用户访问非法儿童虐待内容的广告和账户。
Meta announced Wednesday that it took action against 33.2 million pieces of child sexual exploitation content on Facebook and Instagram in the first half of 2026. At the same time, the company is rolling out new AI tools to find ads and accounts that may be used to secretly direct people to illegal child abuse material.
Meta 表示，在其采取行动的这些内容中，超过 97% 是由其系统自行发现的，而非用户举报。在印度，Meta 同期处理了 530 万条涉及儿童性剥削的内容，其中超过 98% 在用户举报前已被检测到。
More than 97% of the content Meta acted on was found by its systems before users reported it, the company said. In India, Meta acted on 5.3 million pieces of child sexual exploitation content during the same period, with more than 98% detected before users reported it.
Meta 称，其最新的人工智能工具旨在应对那些利用看似无害的广告，将用户引导至 Meta 平台之外的非法内容。
Meta said its latest AI tools are aimed at people using ads that look harmless to send users to illegal content outside Meta’s platforms.
该公司推出了一种全新的大语言模型（LLM）系统，用于检测其所谓的“引导性内容”。这类广告可能看起来正常，但被怀疑会引导用户前往非法内容或网络上的其他有害活动。Meta 表示，近期不法分子正是采用这种策略不断变换手段以逃避检测。尽管广告本身可能不包含非法内容，但它们仍可能成为通往存储儿童性虐待内容网站的入口。
The company has introduced a new large language model (LLM) system to detect what it calls “signposting.”This refers to ads that may look normal but are suspected of directing users to illegal content or other harmful activity elsewhere online. Meta says this is a tactic it has recently seen bad actors use as they continue to change their methods to avoid detection. While the ads themselves may not contain illegal material, they can still act as a gateway to websites hosting child sexual abuse material.
因此，Meta 表示，现在不仅关注广告本身的内容，还会分析广告将用户引导至何处。通过这一信息，Meta 可以屏蔽违反其规则的网站或其他目标页面，并对相关账户采取行动。
Because of this, Meta said it’s now looking at where an ad sends users, and not just what the ad contains. The company can use this information to block websites or other destinations that break its rules and take action against the accounts behind them.
此外，Meta 还利用额外的人工智能扫描技术，寻找早期系统可能遗漏的儿童剥削内容。该公司表示，随着对这类网络运作方式了解的加深，将继续引入新的识别信号。
Meta is also using additional AI-driven scans to find child exploitation content that earlier systems may have missed. The company said it will continue adding new signals as it learns more about how these networks operate.
另一项新工具是“红队人工智能代理”，用于测试 Meta 自身的安全措施。该工具会寻找不法分子可能利用的漏洞，以绕过公司的防护机制。Meta 表示，这有助于在滥用手段变得更加普遍之前，提前发现新的攻击方式。
Another new tool is a “red-teaming AI agent” that tests Meta’s own safety measures. It looks for weaknesses that bad actors could use to get around the company’s protections. Meta said this could help it find new methods of abuse before they become more common.
此外，该公司正在改进其系统，以识别那些在先前账户被删除后，使用新账户重返其平台的用户。
Additionally, the company is improving its systems for finding people who return to its platforms with new accounts after their previous accounts have been removed.
随着Meta持续面临其平台儿童安全问题的压力，这些新措施应运而生。该公司因社交媒体服务可能对年轻用户构成的风险而面临诉讼和立法者的批评。今年8月，Meta达成了一项协议，同意支付最高180亿美元，以解决涉及美国29个州的儿童安全诉讼，回应了有关保护儿童在线安全的担忧。
The new measures come as Meta continues to face pressure over the safety of children on its platforms. The company has faced lawsuits and criticism from lawmakers over the risks its social media services may pose to young users. In August, Meta reached an agreement to pay up to $18 billion to settle a child safety lawsuit involving 29 U.S. states, addressing concerns regarding the protection of children online.
今年，Meta推出了多项儿童安全功能，包括针对Meta AI的家长控制、WhatsApp的青少年前阶段账户，以及当儿童在Instagram上搜索自残内容时向家长发出提醒的功能。
Meta has introduced several child-safety features this year, including parental controls for Meta AI, pre-teen accounts on WhatsApp, and alertsfor parents when children search Instagram for self-harm content.
9月，WhatsApp为家长增加了更多控制选项。家长可以限制青少年使用“频道”的方式，控制谁可以看到他们的状态更新，并决定谁可以将自己的孩子添加到群组中。家长还可以选择接收有关特定群组活动的通知。
In September, WhatsApp added more controls for parents. They can limit how teenagers use Channels, control who can see their status updates, and decide who can add their children to groups. Parents can also choose to receive notifications about certain group activity.
