I am seeking answers about the corrective actions that Meta is taking in response to these disturbing reports. If Meta has information about the advertisements identified in the Wired reporting, provide a list of those ads, as well as detailed answers to the following questions, accompanied by documentation sufficient to substantiate the answers provided, not later than August 26, 2026
Press Meta to explain how advertisements featuring child sexual abuse material and non-consensual intimate images were approved and distributed, disclose reporting and removal details, identify related reseller ads, provide information on under-18 exposure, and answer by August 26, 2026.

Sen. Warner's official release states that he sent Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg a letter demanding answers on how the ads passed review, how much Meta profited, what corrective steps it took, IDs for reseller ads, and the number of exploitative ads shown to users under 18.

The signed letter asks Meta for documented answers about detection, NCMEC reporting, removal timing, CSAM distribution or advertising, Chinese reseller ads, nudify ads, revenue, legal liability analysis, and under-18 exposure, with responses requested not later than August 26, 2026.
Assessments
Warner, while serving in the same federal Senate term, sent a formal August 18, 2026 letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg pressing for the specific explanations and disclosures listed in the claim, including ad approval and distribution, reporting and removal details, reseller ads, revenue, legal analysis, under-18 exposure, and an August 26, 2026 response deadline. The promised action was to press Meta for answers, not to secure Meta's verified substantive response, so the oversight commitment was fulfilled by Warner's letter.
