Isn't this what people are constantly asking for? Every time the topic of YouTube copyright strikes comes up, people angrily demand that Google verify that the person making the request actually has the right to do so.
There's no way to design such a system that has zero false positives and zero false negatives; if you do no verification whatsoever you'll get tons of false positives, now it seems like Google has added a small amount of verification, at least sometimes, so now there are some false negatives.
- junon 10mo agoNo, this isn't what anyone is asking for. Also, point to where Google did any verification? This seems like more than a false negative. Author clearly stated they were willing to jump through whatever necessary hoops. Google didn't seem to have the hoops to jump through.
- wvenable 10mo agoOne can probably assume that this is the result of far too many illegitimate take down requests. Google almost certainly doesn't want to be in the business of arbitrating link take down requests.
- pamcake 10mo agoThey have persistently architected and engineered the system to put and keep themselves in that position.
- wvenable 10mo agoThey have links to things, they did take down requests, take down requests got abused, now they don't do take down requests (as much). What does engineering have to do with that?
