Funko is accused of using ‘trash AI Powered Brand Protection Software’
This makes me angry at both Funko and the domain registrar.
YouTube’s noncommunicative takedown process has always been regarded as the best system of any popular video upload site (because there aren’t any others) but for this shit to poison the open web is definitely not okay.
Just link the Bsky posts. I like Aftermath as an outlet but when a “news” article is just 2 embedded posts and some fluff, why not just directly link the source?
Honestly, I mean actual journalism could’ve at least figured out the false claim, what page was removed to comply, why that was a false (or not false claim), and report on that… instead of just… “here is what he said:” quote “and to summarise, he said that.”
It’s for sure not a legitimate process.
DMCA doesn’t entitle you to force a service that complies with DMCA requests down.
I actually linked to the itch(.)io Bluesky post, before deleting it and posting this article for accessibility reasons.
Not everyone is comfortable using Bluesky.
I think one of the better compromises is to post a direct link to the source (bluesky, twitter, whatever), and then post a screenshot or quote as a top level comment.
That way people can follow the link if they want the community responses over there or just read the copy of the post here.
It’s a pity all social media can’t just be normal links so we could actually talk about things instead of fussing with how we share them.
Not everyone is comfortable using Bluesky.
Why? What’s wrong with it? What have I missed?
It’s a centralized Twitter clone run by a faceless vulture capitalist corporation that’s now full of the second worst people to occupy Twitter. At best they’re harvesting all of your data, at worst they’re prepping the data they’ve harvested to be handed over to the trump administration and whatever AI powered hyper Nazi tool theyll use to set up raids on dissenters.
Wow, that is certainly a take.
Sad to see you catching downvotes for answering a question.
I agree that not everyone is comfortable with all the different platforms, and I understand you opting for something potentially could be viewed by more people because of it.
Thanks for your reply, upvote from me

A real “checks notes” moment.
