That's correct, the origin of those ads are chinese nudify AI apps targeting western consumers.

Meta say ads, as are thousands (or millions) of them, are verified through automated tools, which can be deceived. It reminds me the case of Tinder fake profiles taking advantage of loophole of "just one face verified picture" (also chinese scammers).
