Publisher Nexon has now made a statement addressing the situation, saying the ads were submitted by users as part of a ‘TikTok Creative Challenge’, which TikTok describes as an “official creator monetization program that turns your creativity into cash by creating UGC-style ads for your favorite brands”.
“All submitted videos are verified through TikTok’s system to check copyright violations before they are approved as advertising content. However, we have become aware of cases where the circumstances surrounding the production of certain submitted videos appear inappropriate. Thus, we are conducting a thorough joint investigation with TikTok to determine the facts.
How could they not see this coming? Of course this will be gamed and abused. This is what happens when you fire your marketing department and outsource it to TikTok.
Shit like this was possible before AI. Companies have been deceiving other people since civilization.
This is the best part of the ads in question:
Sounds like a great way to make people aware to not play this game.
Sounds like a pretty clear violation of the right of publicity.
Why’s he posting this on the net? Take it to a law firm.
Why not both?
There’s a reason you don’t do both.
Wouldn’t publicly disclosing such information harm his case?
i dont know the exact quote but: never keep a perfectly fine crisis unused
a streamer has much more to gain from the drama around it than the case itself
it would be unwise to not tap into this source of sympathy (new viewers)
I don’t see how.
