Pin Trading App blames Meta's auto-enabled feature for AI ad altering creator's likeness
Disney content creator catonmainstreet (Catherine) posted a video alleging that a Pin Trading App advertisement used artificial intelligence to change her skin tone and Hispanic features, violating an agreement that prohibited such use. The creator said the AI‑altered ad was run on Facebook and that Meta had taken down the app’s account multiple times.
Key points
- Pin Trading App says Meta’s auto‑enabled Advantage+ Creative Standard Enhancements generated the altered ad.
- Creator catonmainstreet was paid $910 for 19 videos and received an $85,000 pre‑suit demand on Sep 2.
- Pin Trading App, run by Evergreen Apps LLC, offers 30 free scans then $14.99/mo or $39.99/yr subscription.
Co‑founders Andy and Emily of Pin Trading App, operated by Evergreen Apps LLC, responded on September 20, stating the ad variations were produced by Meta’s Advantage+ Creative Standard Enhancements, an auto‑enabled feature that automatically creates media variations. They said the feature was mistakenly left on, disabled all campaigns on August 7, and apologized for the oversight. Catherine had created 19 videos for the app from February to July 2026, for which she was paid $910. On September 2 her attorney sent an 83‑page pre‑suit settlement demand for $85,000, with a September 17 response deadline that the company missed.
The app offers a database of over 150,000 Disney pins, 30 free scans, then a subscription at $14.99 monthly or $39.99 yearly, and has faced other accusations of AI‑generated content and photo theft.
