An Indian startup is abusing DMCA to curb online dissent against their products

Poonia’s videos take on various claims that WhiteHat Jr has made. For instance, WHJ advertises a certain child called ‘Wolf Gupta’, who, after learning to code with the firm, got a job at Google that pays in crores. Poonia points out in his video that Wolf Gupta’s age keeps changing across advertisements, from nine to 14, as does his salary package—from Rs1.2 crore to Rs20 crore to Rs150 crore.

They're A/B testing any numbers/variables they can find?? Give someone a hammer and everything looks like a nail I guess.

Makes me glad truth in advertising laws exist: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/media-resources/truth-advert...

Nevertheless, nobody is naming their kid "Wolf".

I used to know a German guy that went by Wolf - short for Wolfgang.
