Meta’s AI agent Muse is now the No. 2 app in the US

Meta's agentic AI app Muse ranked No. 2 on the US iOS charts with 83,000+ downloads, trailing Threads and ChatGPT launch pace.

Sensor Tower data shows Muse was downloaded over 83,000 times on iOS in the US, climbing from 4th to 2nd on the App Store, but below Threads' 4.3 million launch-day downloads and ChatGPT's 500,000 first-week installs. The Android version ranks only No. 338 in the Productivity category on Google Play. Muse launched days after Meta's $18 billion multistate settlement over social media consumer harms. Rival agent Instinct, valued at $2.5 billion with $350 million available, recently added Stripe and 1Password integrations.

San Francisco Orders Meta to Stop ‘Allowing’ AI Child Abuse Ads

San Francisco's city attorney sent Meta a cease-and-desist over 350+ ads containing AI-generated child sexual abuse content, demanding remediation within 28 days.

San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu issued a cease-and-desist ordering Meta to stop 'allowing' paid ads with AI-generated child sexual abuse content and demanding answers within 28 days about moderation failures. Tech Transparency Project researchers found more than 350 ads that turned images of minors, some of real people including a European royal family member, into videos depicting sexual acts, directing users to AI nudify apps; the ads reached over 29,000 accounts across the EU, US, Australia and India. Meta says all ads have been removed, most had fewer than 200 impressions and total ad spend was under $5,000, and argues the ads ran outside the city attorney's jurisdiction.

Meta's AI ad-detection failed to catch 350+ CSAM video ads on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, some depicting images of real children.

The Tech Transparency Project found over 250 additional ads containing child sexual abuse material on Meta platforms since August, on top of ~53 previously removed, exceeding 350 total since late last year. Some ads used images of real children, including a European royal family minor and teen influencers, morphed into graphic sexual videos via AI face-swapping. Ads linked to nudification apps from Chinese developers and reached over 29,000 EU accounts plus thousands in the US, UK, Australia, and India.
