Spam link poses as Japan's horse racing website to slip in reviews of sexual 'AI tools'

By Tema EN (sex and relationships feed) · November 8, 2026.

The material we received contains no news. The headline refers to a "complete guide to official sexual AI tools" and attributes it to the Japan Racing Association (JRA). The URL, however, points to a seating page for a racecourse in Sapporo. An "xml" parameter carrying a base64-encoded block of data has been appended to that page, and it is not an article.

Judging by the parameter's format, this looks like an attempt to abuse the JRA website to redirect anyone who opens the link to a third-party site with a promotional review. It is a well-known search engine optimization (SEO) spam technique that exploits the reputation of a legitimate domain. We have not downloaded or verified the destination, and we attribute no intent or responsibility to the JRA: it is very likely the victim of the manipulation.

Our take: there is nothing to say about AI here, and pretending otherwise would be filler. It is, however, a useful reminder. As automated content gets cheaper to generate, links that use trusted domains to hide promotions are multiplying, and news aggregators' filters need to catch them. That human editorial judgment is what separates a news outlet from a mere link harvester.

We are discarding this item as news and do not recommend it for publication.
