Despite policies prohibiting such material, the BBC identified paid adverts containing sexually explicit and suggestive content involving children.
Meta acknowledged its ad review process may not detect all policy violations but denied knowingly targeting ads featuring child exploitation to users.
Meta told the BBC they fight child exploitation on their platforms, remove ads that violate their policies, and report such content to the authorities. They said they had removed content flagged by the BBC and denied prioritising revenue over user safety.
