Oh no

AI causes another embarrassing social media cycle at Microsoft in 3..2..

If anybody is wondering, Tracer.ai is legit and operating at the instruction of Microsoft.

They’re an AI brand protection service which has been systematically harming Microsoft’s brand for a while. An example - getting YouTube videos about Minecraft removed, which has hindered Minecraft’s visibility online (which is a huge part of Xbox revenue). https://www.reddit.com/r/PhoenixSC/comments/1fk28zm/microsoft_has_started_using_some_kind_of_ai_that/

If anybody else thinks it's a phishing email btw.. it isn't.

They also don't appear to know I'm not CEO of the fediverse and can't just delete an account on another server.

Also, obviously, a parody account is fair use in the US and protected speech so they shouldn't be trying to take them offline, too. It's basically a brand reputation service for Microsoft that damages brand reputation by not understanding brand reputation.

I didn’t know about @microsoft before and now I’m enjoying reading their prior toots and trying to decide which one pissed off an MS exec and caused the brand protection squad to arrive.
