★★★★★
significance 3/5

The research suggests these platforms do not just host harmful AI-driven undressing apps but actively drive user engagement toward them.
Why it matters
Platform-driven promotion of generative AI tools signals a systemic failure in content moderation and safety-tiering for mobile ecosystems.
