Meta has faced backlash from parents after using photos of schoolgirls in their uniforms in ads for its app, Threads. The images were automatically cross-posted from Instagram, where they had been posted by parents to celebrate the girls’ return to school. Critics say the use of these images is “exploitative” and “sexualized.” Meta claims that the posting was done by adult accounts allowed public viewing, but a father whose daughter’s image was used said he felt “disgusted” upon learning about it.
