Meta's Facebook and Instagram are reportedly teeming with thousands of ads for AI-generated companions and apps that promise a virtual girlfriend experience. Now, sex workers are criticising the tech giant for seemingly allowing these suggestive ads while cracking down on sexually suggestive content from other sources.
