Meta's ad platform failed to block obvious CSAM keywords ("rape video," "child video") that directly monetized links to Telegram channels in a major market, exposing a gap between the company's moderation claims and enforcement at scale. This is a systematic failure in ad review mechanisms that allowed illegal content to be commercially promoted, not an isolated account or data leak. The failure raises questions about whether Meta's ad systems are designed to catch intent-based abuse or only react to reported content after the fact.
