Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, among other platforms, was added to the Dirty Dozen List this year due to a host of concerns. NCOSE says Meta is not cracking down on sexually exploitative actions on the company's platforms.

"Meta's platforms — Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp — have consistently been ranked for years as the top hotspots for a host of crimes and harms: pedophile networks sharing child sex abuse material, where CSAM offenders first contact children, exploitative algorithms promoting children to adults, sex trafficking, sextortion, and image-based sexual abuse," NCOSE explained.

Meta was previously on the Dirty Dozen List in 2022, with NCOSE warning at the time that "without a commitment to put safety before profit across all its platforms, the so-called 'metaverse' — where social media and virtual reality meet — will likely unleash new manifestations of sexual abuse and exploitation."
