Using the DMCA as a censorship tool needs to be a criminal offense subject to jail time.
Why that’s literally what it was designed to do
It is, but this isn't. The DMCA doesn't mention Trademark. That's a separate section of law because copyright and trademark are different things.
Crowdstrike submitting a DMCA takedown for alleged Trademark infringement isn't how it's supposed to work at all. Likely because they know this isn't actually a Trademark infringement case.
Cloudflare's automated system not being smart enough to see that is fine. Their abuse/counterclaim process being broken isn't. ( Not that that's new or unique )
The ClownStrike person didn’t attempt to use Cloudflare’s counterclaim system.
Cloudflare's counterclaim system didn't open a ticket when the notification email was replied to.
That's the kind of nonsense you expect from a local municipality hosting solution. Not one of the biggest on the Internet.
