People, please do NOT post videos that AREN'T Harris campaign ads and say that they are. [View all]

We have an example of that at https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219258014 with more than 100 recs.

Please see my reply 25 there.

The video is from a Twitter account I'd never heard of, identified in the profile as a content creator in the UK.

Nice video, and it does give the link for Harris's website at the end, but it does NOT come from the campaign.

Please don't share videos like this and say they are campaign videos.

I think people assumed it was a campaign ad, and no one checked, including the DUer who posted it. highplainsdem Jul 2024 #5

Probably because no one alerted on it? Attilatheblond Jul 2024 #6

I'm guessing it was an innocent mistake by the DUer who posted it, but they need to be more careful. highplainsdem Jul 2024 #8

Meh, a tempest in a teapot. Jack-o-Lantern Jul 2024 #7

No, it isn't. The campaign chooses their messages and ads, and nothing should be misrepresented as highplainsdem Jul 2024 #9

A reminder to all of us to be mindful of what we post MustLoveBeagles Jul 2024 #28

great ad! nt ecstatic Jul 2024 #10

Their official ads are better, IMO, and this should never have been posted as an official campaign ad. highplainsdem Jul 2024 #12

Weird, isn't it? orthoclad Jul 2024 #11

I saw that, too. orange jar Jul 2024 #20

You don't, but there are already people who are becoming AI dependent, which the AI companies encourage. Did you highplainsdem Jul 2024 #21
