Hitler’s AI Translated Speeches Go Viral on TikTok in Troubling Trend

[Social Media]

 

A disturbing trend has emerged on TikTok, where users are employing AI to translate Adolf Hitler’s speeches into English, gaining millions of views in the process. According to a watchdog report from Media Matters, these videos, which glorify and celebrate the Nazi leader, blatantly violate TikTok’s guidelines against promoting individuals or ideologies that cause mass violence or hate.

 

One particularly unsettling clip gathered over one million views before it was eventually removed. In the video, Hitler is seen delivering a speech set to a slow instrumental beat, with a misleading narrative suggesting that he did not wish to incite conflict during World War II and only acted out of necessity to save women and children. The caption attached to the video simply read, “Just listen.”

 

Media Matters further revealed that this is not an isolated case. Numerous Nazi-themed videos have surfaced on TikTok, including another clip that showed scenic cliffs by the water while another Hitler speech played in the background. This video reportedly amassed 270,000 views and 22,700 likes, with comments such as “AH was a good and kind man” and “this changed my views on him.”

 

One TikTok account with over 20,000 followers posted 12 videos featuring Hitler’s speeches and had accumulated nearly four million views. The content included an outline of Hitler alongside text that read, “Growing up is realizing Who the villain Really was.” 

 

TikTok has since responded to the backlash. A spokesperson stated to The Post that they had already “removed almost all of the videos identified in the Media Matters report for violating our community guidelines.” The spokesperson added, “Along with more than 1,300 pieces of related content that we removed proactively; and removed the remaining others today.” The platform claims to maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward hateful content, removing more than 90 percent of such material before it is reported.

 

Despite this, some of the Hitler-themed videos remained up even after the Media Matters report, with more users condemning TikTok for allowing the content to proliferate. In a separate investigation, Sky News discovered over 50,000 TikTok posts between September 2 and 3 that featured speeches by Hitler and his infamous propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels. Many of these videos were paired with popular music on the platform, like Drift Phonk, without the original creators' permission. 

 

One post even featured an image from a Nuremberg Rally alongside a Hitler speech, which received more than 56,000 likes. One disturbing comment on the post read, “modern society absolutely needs him.”

 

Artists whose music was used without their consent were also outraged. Pastel Ghost, one of the artists whose work was repurposed in these videos, told Sky News she found it “shocking and deplorable” and vowed to track down where her music had been misused on the platform.

 

TikTok’s unique sound feature, which allows users to remix audio clips with different content, makes it harder for the company to detect inappropriate videos, especially when Nazi-related material is mixed with popular music tracks.

 

However, after Sky News flagged the videos to TikTok, the company stated that the content was quickly removed for violating its policies. A spokesperson emphasized that TikTok continuously updates its safeguards and trains its safety professionals to detect hateful behavior, claiming that 91 percent of such content is removed before being flagged by users.

 

The persistence of these videos raises questions about the effectiveness of TikTok’s moderation system and its ability to curb the spread of harmful, extremist content.

Don't worry, the videos will flourish on Elons Twitter. Might even get a retweet from the man himself.

Unfortunately, even the Japanese made little impact on the psyche of Thais so no comparison with Hitler can be made here.

 "Nazism adopted controversial policies on meat. On the one hand, it banned vegetarian associations; on the other hand, Hitler and many Nazi officials professed their vegetarianism. Moreover, Nazi Animal Protection Law protected animals from the same tortures that the Nazis inflicted in the concentration camps."

Obviously the reason they don't want

his musings translated and widely read is because they are afraid poeple might agree at least to some degree...same as Bin Laden's letter to America recently went viral then promptly scrubbed from "media" sites that had hosted it for years.

How dangerous his words must be that people are not allowed to listen to them 80 years after the event.

 

Same with that Ben Laden letter.
