After inappropriate content and real-world harms slipped through the cracks, Meta is scrambling to rewrite its rules, but critics question whether any guardrails can move fast enough to catch what's already out there.

Mind-Blowing AI
Palette is a really neat AI that can bring old photos to life with AI-powered colorization that’s as easy as applying a filter.
Just upload a black and white photo, choose a filter, and watch it transform with realistic, vibrant colors. It doesn’t just guess, it mirrors lighting, refines skin tones, and even captures tiny details to create a natural, visually striking result. And if the AI doesn’t get it quite right? You can tweak the results to match your vision. 🖼️✨
