A PR representative for a major media company informations appears to have posted a strange tweet on Friday about AIDS and Africa.
A tweet sent from the account of Justine Sacco, a senior communications director at InterActiveCorp (better known as the IAC), said: "I'm going to Africa, I hope I don't catch AIDS. I'm kidding, I'm white ”!”
IAC – known for its popular websites της OkCupid, Match.com, CollegeHumor, The Daily Beast και το Vimeo – απάντησε για το “ατυχές” tweet, σύμφωνα με την International Business Times:
It is an outrageous, offensive comment that does not reflect the IAC opinions and values. Unfortunately, this employee is currently on an international flight and we do not have the ability to communicate. But it is a very serious issue and we will take the appropriate measures.
Perhaps Sacco will later report that her account was hacked, to avoid taking responsibility for the Tweet. However, all her latest tweets show that she traveled recently.
