AI-Generated Pro-North Korean TikToks Are Also Bizarre Ads for Supplements

Propaganda as you've never seen it, I guess? North Korea is a particularly sensitive topic, which is why it is not talked about excessively, especially within online contexts. Considering the frequent spread of misinformation concerning nations other than one's own, it is understandable to exercise caution when dealing with topics one knows little about.

Tiktok, on the contrary, seems to march headlong into the midst of misinformation, be it on one topic or another. Recently, in fact, several series of slideshows containing somewhat ambiguous images have begun to circulate on the platform: more precisely, artificially generated photographs accompanied by clickbait texts mentioning North Korea and what a wonderful place it is to live.

In addition, many of the mentioned slideshows end with an advertisement depicting the NAD+ supplement by the company Reus Research, without any reference to the advertisement in the rest of the post.
