PHYSIX OBSERVATION
Meta monetizes adult conversations with its AI agent Muse while strictly policing real creators' social accounts, and this double standard is intensifying the conflict. The platform uses compliance language to distinguish private AI from public promotion, but what creators see is machines gaining freedom while humans are expelled. If AI pornographic content continues to expand, the trust fracture between the adult industry and platforms will only deepen.
