Does this type of attack have a name?
- dredmorbius 3y ago"ContentID abuse" is the best I'm able to find. Though it has certain similarities to "swatting" or "joe-job" attacks, leveraging false reporting or false attribution to impose harms on others through defensive, protective, police, or legal mechanisms.
- meltyness 3y agoI suppose it's privilege escalation in some sense. There's a chance the perpetrator has simply compromised a legitimate copyright authority's account. It's definitely disturbing that "basically anyone" has the capability to participate in this sort of censorship though.
