Alaska Attorney General Treg Taylor has joined a bipartisan coalition of 28 state attorneys general demanding urgent answers from Meta Platforms, Inc. owner of Facebook, following revelations that Meta’s artificial intelligence chatbot, known as “Meta AI,” may be exposing children to sexually explicit content and enabling simulated grooming behavior on its social media platforms.
The group of top law enforcement officials issued a formal letter to Meta, citing investigative reports that uncovered instances where AI personas, some developed and voiced by Meta itself, engaged in graphic sexual conversations with users identifying as minors.
In one case, a Meta-created persona using the voice of actor John Cena described a sexual encounter with a user posing as a 14-year-old girl and acknowledged that the activity described was illegal.
“These reports are alarming,” said Alaska Attorney General Treg Taylor. “I have the job as Attorney General to protect children. I trust that Meta will take swift action to address our concerns.”
Meta AI is integrated into Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, allowing users to interact with virtual personas through text, voice, and image. Some of these personas mimic celebrities such as Kristen Bell and John Cena, while others are user-generated but curated and promoted by Meta.
According to investigative findings, some of these AI bots have been used to simulate sexually explicit conversations involving children.
The attorneys general are demanding Meta answer the following key questions by June 10:
- Did Meta intentionally remove safeguards to allow sexual role-play scenarios involving children?
- Are such capabilities still active on any Meta platforms?
- Will Meta immediately halt access to sexual role-play on its platforms?
In 2023, Taylor joined 53 attorneys general from states and territories in urging Congress to study and impose restrictions on artificial intelligence tools used to generate child sexual abuse material.
The letter to Meta was led by South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson and co-signed by attorneys general from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
The coalition emphasized that protecting children from online harm is a bipartisan priority and warned that failure by Meta to act swiftly and transparently could invite further legal and legislative scrutiny.
You would think that META would do this before being urged by legislators. You know, like they way they silenced people who disagreed with Biden and Fauci administration.
Seems pretty hypocritcal.

Anchorage’s awash in illegal aliens child trafficking, transvestites grooming children, school officials brainwashing children into genital mutilation, officials asserting their authority to put pornography in children’s libraries, flaunting their perversions in front of children, even the damned mayor’s a big part of the “Pride Parade” which is all about exposing children to “sexually explicit content”
.
…but the AG’s worried about Meta AI exposing children to “sexually explicit content”?
.
Bullsh//, bro!
.
What’s the scam,? Put the emotional squeeze on Meta AI, stiff ’em for money, be a hero, run for governor?
.
What do you say, Treg, when Meta AI asks why you don’t fix Alaska’s state-sponsored “sexually explicit content” first?
