Meta Lets 18-Plus Muse Sext Users as Adult Creators Face Instagram Restrictions

Summary
Meta allows adult users of its 18-plus Muse app to engage in explicit sexting, making the AI assistant a rare mainstream chatbot permitted to generate X-rated text.
Meta says a private one-to-one AI conversation differs from promoting sexual services on social platforms, where creators say Instagram still restricts lawful adult expression and visibility.
Adult performers told WIRED the split is unfair: Vanniall’s 100,000-follower Instagram is restricted, and Tony Genius says he is on his seventh Instagram account in five years.
The dispute highlights a broader clash over AI and sex work, with creators warning about deepfakes, uncompensated training data and future displacement even as some see AI as a marketing tool.
