Why aren't there clear disclaimers for sponsored/paid interviews and branding exercises?

It's a clearly known loophole, which scammers use to improve their search history / SEO rankings - by using similar sounding recognitions / association.

How PR statements and branding exercises were used in case of KK Singh.

One more example how of KK Singh used an interview in the Harvard International Review, to reiterate lies:

Devesh Kumar, the former Wire journalist used similar tactics over the years, to build a history for himself.

Due diligence these days only means to Google a person's reach and reputation.

Related: Not a scam, but an example of an advertorial about the Ambani's grandkids.

Most people won't be able to make out, that it was part of an PR exercise.

#Thread:🧵

AltNews in their article on The Wire's former 'consultant' Devesh Kumar - had borrowed already researched work & re-purposed it in their article, without due credits.

When questioned over email, they denied any plagiarism - which is mischievous on their end.
On 30th Oct. '22, when The Wire had lodged a complaint against Devesh Kumar, by that evening itself I had published a thread containing more than 50+ tweets, along with evidences and more clues/leads.

By that time Devesh Kumar already had deleted his blog, Twitter account, etc. ImageImage
The claim about adoption of a girl child, the methodology of fact checking & also the URL of the archive used are the same.

On web.archive.org there are 10 different versions avbl., but AltNews quoted the same URL from 11th Aug '20 - which I did.
