Apparently Microsoft don’t understand how the Fediverse works, and want me to delete the parody account @microsoft 🤣🫡
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.
@GossiTheDog You know, we are lacking communality here. If you were my neighbor, i would lovingly think about what would be an ethical necessity.
