I’m very interested in what the offending page looked like. itch.io in the first reports seemed to suggest it was a false positive, without outright saying so. Both Funko and BrandShield are quiet about it, but between the lines you can infer they think the AI tool’s report was legitimate.

Hey, so if BrandShield is being honest, what's Itch's registrar? What do they have to say? 🍿 This keeps getting deeper.

If only we had a few more Luigi, these corpo-shit would think twice

You just know that their "AI driven platform" is a call to google for the brand names they're "protecting" followed by takedown requests issued to the registered email followed by one to the registrar for every domain found.

We need a new internet because this one is fucked.

The fact that a legit website could be taken down just by a big corporation claim, without any further third party or gubernamental investigation. Is indeed frightening.

Didn't they contacted the owners mom about this? Fucking disgusting practices.

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Ive had companies call my mom over stuff because the last known contact information they found for me was from when I was still living with my parents. Literally years after I moved out.

The "A.I" excuse stuff reads like bullshit. The mom call might just be old information.

That buck just keeps on passing around, huh?
