Meta's Muse AI Agent Can Sext Users While Human Adult Creators Struggle to Stay on Instagram

"It's not fair that they get to pull money out of people with their sexually active AI agent, but won't let real people, real adults, engage in any sort of sensuality or sexuality."
Meta's AI agent Muse, available through an adults-only app, is permitted to engage in explicit text conversations with users — a policy the company defends as allowing "legal adult behavior." Meanwhile, adult content creators say their Instagram accounts are routinely restricted, shadow-banned, or removed for far milder content. One creator told WIRED she is on her seventh Instagram account in five years.
The double standard is hard to miss: Meta profits from Muse's sexting feature while the human performers whose livelihoods depend on social media visibility get flagged for "sensuality." Creators are also raising questions about whether their content was used to train Muse without consent or compensation — a question Meta has not answered.
