Nuked 
Hey friends, Nuked here! Today, I’m diving into some wild tech news that’s both fascinating and a bit shocking.
Meta has taken legal action against Crush AI, an AI nudify app that reportedly ran thousands of disturbing ads across Meta’s platforms. The lawsuit, filed in Hong Kong, accuses the app’s creators, Joy Timeline HK, of trying to bypass Meta’s review system to promote their services.
Despite repeated removals by Meta for policy violations, Crush AI kept launching new ads by creating numerous advertiser accounts with different domain names and even a Facebook page. The app used generative AI to generate fake, sexually explicit images of people without consent, and in the first two weeks of 2025, it ran over 8,000 ads for its AI undresser service.
Research shows that around 90% of traffic to Crush AI’s websites came from Facebook or Instagram, and the app’s operators frequently changed domains and set up multiple ad accounts to evade detection. Many of these accounts had similar names, such as “Eraser Annyone’s Clothes,” making it easier to identify their tactics.
This problem isn’t unique to Meta—other platforms like Twitter and Reddit have also struggled with similar content. As social media companies incorporate AI tools, moderating harmful content, especially content targeting minors, has become increasingly difficult. Links to AI undressing apps surged on various platforms in 2024, and YouTube served millions of ads promoting such apps.
In response, Meta and TikTok have banned keyword searches for AI nudify apps and are developing technology to better detect these ads, even when they hide nudity. Meta claims to have disrupted four networks promoting these services so far in 2025 and is sharing information about such apps through collaborative industry efforts like the Tech Coalition’s Lantern program.
Additionally, Meta is applying existing tactics used against illicit networks to shut down new accounts promoting AI nudify services. The company supports legislation to help parents oversee their children’s app usage, including backing the US Take It Down Act.
Stay tuned for more updates as the fight against harmful AI content continues!
