Comment on itch.io was taken down by Funko because of some automated brand protection service
brsrklf@jlai.lu 1 week agoIt’s definitely a huge failure on the registrar part, but I wouldn’t say “mainly”, because it makes it sound like it’s normal for a company to send random blanket claims in all directions just in case something sticks.
I’m sure it’s not what you meant, but there definitely needs to be some sort of penalty for bad actors (including massunsupervised automated claims).

Well it kind of was what I was getting at in a way, though distribution of fault is pretty debatable. I think the majority of fault lies with the company putting a failable automated system into production for something this, but I can’t help but wonder if there is potential for abuse if this is all it takes for the registrar to delist a legitimate business.
Penalities would be a good start I think, like you mentioned. Business sometimes can only understand the language of money after all. It’s possible this is the exception to a system that functions quite well behind the scenes also.
I also appreciate the benefit of the doubt on this, it’s refreshing compared to the usual internet instant rage.
