Perplexity CEO slams X's 'aesthetic standard' for ads while AI hate images of Indians persist
rbhar90 · x · 2026-10-17
Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas called out X's double standard after Musk announced all X ads will be subject to a 'reasonable aesthetic standard,' with ugly or overclaiming advertisers banned. Srinivas asked why the platform tolerates AI-generated images dehumanizing Indians — depicting them eating feces, as insects, desecrating deities, and calling to 'crush' Indians — questioning whether aesthetics, morals, ethics, or ToS apply at all.
A notable clash over AI content moderation and platform ad policy.
