In this paper, the metaphor of corporate paedophilia is used more specifically to refer only to advertising and marketing that either seek to present children in sexually suggestive ways, or seek to sell products to children using overt forms of adult sexuality. It encapsulates the idea that such advertising and marketing is an abuse of children and contravenes public norms.</blockquote> This is what the report says in its intro:

Unless they can prove financial loss I don't think they should be entitled to sue as free speech must be protected. However the AI claim is vastly overblown and in the interests of common decency they should apologize for their actions. That includes an apology to the children whose pictures they have used to support their claims. How distressing that must be for the parents. Shame, AI, shame.
