This is entirely Surge's fault. Surge buys and resells computing resources. If you're part of a Matryoshka doll of platform providers, your plan has to be to take down content at the first request of your provider and to put it back afterwards. The other option is to have your entire site get banned.
Both Google and Amazon have had situations where their entire worldwide properties have been shut down in various countries because of a single piece of content hosted on their platforms that they refused to take down.
Surge is expecting special treatment that not even Google and Amazon get by not taking the content down immediately and complaining about a larger shutdown. "Due Process" doesn't come into play at all.

- mindslight 10y agoUnder your theory, every network provider has to shut down for each and every complaint.
- powera 10y agoYes, if you don't want to get shut down, you have to take down content for each and every complaint, even the spurious ones, until you file some type of lawsuit against it. Because otherwise somebody else will do it for you. It's part of being a middle-man, which is exactly what Surge is. There is no "due process" here. It's unreasonable for a service provider to ask for it.
- sintaxi 10y agoWe expect Digital Ocean to not remove content unless they have been given instruction to do so by the rights holder. I don't see that as special treatment.
