"...An ironic development emerging alongside the “Make America Healthy Again” movement is the portrayal of nicotine as a wellness and performance-enhancing product. Across social media, podcasts, natural medicine communities, and tech startups, prominent wellness personalities and other influencers are portraying nicotine as a misunderstood compound whose potential benefits have been overshadowed by its negative association with cigarettes...." #snakeoil #maha

“The New York Times found hundreds of A.I.-generated doctors, healers and wellness influencers on social media touting the health benefits of supplements to American consumers. Many of these hyperrealistic looking ads promise medical miracles, and appear to be targeting older women, while making misleading health claims for a profit.” https://www.nytimes.com/video/technology/100000011001849/ai-influencers-health-supplements-fake-ads.html?unlocked_article_code=1.zVA.QFaK.sFCJD9kDs5a9&smid=nytcore-ios-share #AI #SnakeOil #Predators #Influencers

Wow – pure SnakeOil, those so-called anti-virus or anti-malware scanners! "we are unable to proceed with the whitelisting request unless the application is available on the Google Play Store"?!? WTF?!? 🤯 And yes, that's part of a real response a dev got. So they claim: your app is malware, as long as it is not at Google Play. I'd say we've heard it the other way around, too… #SnakeOil #AntiVirus #MalwareScanner #falsePositive #Google
