Isn’t the DMCA only for copyright infringement [1]?
> The DMCA safe harbor provisions only apply to claims of copyright infringement. Therefore, they do not provide any protection against trademark claims, whether for trademark infringement, trademark dilution, or cybersquatting.
If the FTC has the authority I’d love to see them bring the hammer down on big tech for stuff like this. A $100 million fine for destroying someone’s small business would be fine by me.

- Meph504 4y agoThe problem if the dmca claim form is valid is the standard for take down, the court determines whose copyright claim is valid, not Google. And though they could argue the point, why argue a point that would have a detrimental effect for being wrong, and very little positive for being right? But yes, I think the Dmca system is flawed greatly without a serious punishment for those who abuse it.
