TikTok removes AI weight loss ads from fake Boots account
TikTok removes fake AI weight loss ads from fake Boots account after complaint, as it is illegal to advertise prescription-only weight loss drugs. The account, seemingly from Hong Kong, was able to re-upload videos despite removal. The videos showed fake testimonials and health workers drinking blue liquid, misleading viewers. AI expert Sam Gregory highlights how platforms need to act swiftly against such scams to protect users.
