A CBC/Radio-Canada investigation found that Hanoi-based HTV Network secretly runs an AI-slop empire pushing fake and sensational content worldwide, including to Canadians. It uncovered nearly 200 Facebook pages with over 55 million followers sharing links to about 50 HTV-connected ad-monetized websites. The model mass-produces AI content, posts it with hyperlinks, and drives users to ad-laden sites. CEO Ngo Anh Tan denied involvement, but corporate and domain records matched his information. After CBC reached out, the site went down and a disclaimer was added. Experts say Meta's monetization policies incentivize such content.
